Plain-English Summary

The proposal would increase how much money the government can borrow to pay out from a fund that compensates Americans who have been harmed by terrorism sponsored by foreign governments, and would require the fund to distribute more of its money to victims. This would help ensure that terrorism victims receive compensation more quickly and that the fund has enough resources to meet their claims. The measure is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.
