A bill to repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019.

# Summary of S. 2133 **What the Bill Would Do** S. 2133 proposes to repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019, a law that imposed economic sanctions on Syria and individuals or entities doing business with the Syrian government. If passed, this bill would remove those sanctions, potentially allowing increased trade and financial interactions with Syria. **Who It Affects** The repeal would impact U.S.

foreign policy toward Syria, Syrian citizens and businesses, American companies with international operations, and countries that trade with Syria. It could affect humanitarian efforts in Syria by potentially easing restrictions on aid and commerce. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It was sponsored by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). As with all bills in committee, it would need to advance through the legislative process and gain sufficient support in both the Senate and House before becoming law.
