Plain-English Summary

This bill would eliminate the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, which currently imposes economic sanctions on Syria and anyone doing business with the Syrian government in response to alleged human rights abuses. Repealing this law would remove these financial penalties and allow companies and countries to resume trade and investment with Syria. The change would primarily affect U.S. foreign policy toward Syria, international businesses, and countries that have been restricted from doing business with the Syrian government.
