Sanctions bill scheduled for House floor vote

Should bill get vote prior to August recess Senate approval, presidential signature still required

A bill toughening sanctions on North Korea may come before the U.S. House of Representatives this week, the last week before summer recess.

The North Korean Sanctions Enforcement Act, which passed the House Foreign Affairs Committee in late May with bipartisan support, is among the bills scheduled for consideration on the House floor. The bill, H.R. 1771, would inflict sanctions on a number of actors, including those who enact or facilitate North Korea’s human rights abuses, censorship, banned weapons proliferation or importing of luxury goods.
