No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act

# No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act - Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would require the U.S. State Department to create and carry out a strategy aimed at stopping foreign countries and organizations from financially supporting the Taliban. The State Department would be allowed to use U.S. foreign aid as leverage—potentially threatening to cut aid to countries that support the Taliban. The bill also requires the State Department to report to Congress on which countries and groups are funding the Taliban, what the U.S. is doing about it, cash assistance programs in Afghanistan, and the Taliban's influence over Afghanistan's central bank. **Who it affects:** This primarily affects the State Department and U.S.

foreign aid distribution. It also impacts foreign countries and nongovernmental organizations that receive U.S. assistance, as they could face reduced aid if they support the Taliban. Indirectly, it affects Afghanistan and the Taliban itself. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. Bills in committee undergo review and may be amended, approved, rejected, or left inactive.
