What does this do?
This bill requires the Secretary of State, along with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, to review whether CAIR meets the legal standard for designation as a foreign terrorist organization. The review must be completed within 90 days, and the findings must be reported to Congress. That report must either announce a designation or explain why CAIR did not meet the legal criteria.
Who does it affect?
CAIR, a Muslim civil rights organization, is the group most directly affected by this bill. The Secretary of State leads the review, working with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury.
Why does it matter?
If CAIR were designated a foreign terrorist organization, it could face restrictions on financial transactions. People who provide the group with material support could also face criminal penalties under existing U.S. law.
