Relating to a national emergency declared by the President on May 11, 2004.
Summary
House Joint Resolution 79 is a legislative proposal that would formally end the national emergency regarding Syria first declared by President George W. Bush in 2004. By terminating this emergency, the bill would lift the specific executive authorities used to block the property of certain individuals and restrict the export of various goods to the Syrian government. While the resolution passed the House of Representatives in 2023, it would require approval from the Senate and the President's signature to change current trade restrictions and sanctions policies.
