HR 3190
Passed House 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.

BRAVE Burma Act

Introduced May 5, 2025

Latest action (Feb 11, 2026) Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Summary

This bill extends and strengthens oversight of sanctions against Burma. It requires the President to determine every year for seven years whether certain Burmese entities—including state-owned enterprises, the Myanma Economic Bank, and foreign companies operating in Burma's jet fuel sector—should face sanctions, and to report findings to Congress. The bill also directs the U.S. Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund to oppose any increase to Burma's voting share in the IMF while the country remains under military control, though the President can waive this requirement if deemed necessary for national interests.
