Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to publicly report whenever the President grants a waiver allowing agencies to do business with companies that have ties to Sudan, a country previously subject to U.S. sanctions. This would increase transparency and oversight of presidential decisions to exempt companies from restrictions meant to pressure Sudan over human rights concerns. The reporting requirement would help Congress and the public track which companies receive these special exemptions and why.
