HR 1800 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Solidify Iran Sanctions Act of 2025
Summary
This bill removes the sunset provision from the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, making the act permanent rather than allowing it to expire. The original Iran Sanctions Act imposed sanctions on Iran related to its weapons programs, ballistic missile development, and support for terrorism. The bill expresses Congress's policy to fully implement and enforce the Iran Sanctions Act going forward. The repeal makes the sanctions framework indefinite, requiring Congress to take affirmative action to terminate the sanctions rather than having them automatically expire.
