No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act

The term 'financial or material support' was replaced with 'foreign assistance' throughout the bill. This broadens the scope considerably, as foreign assistance is a legal term of art covering development aid, humanitarian aid, economic support, and other categories beyond direct financial or material transfers.

A new subsection 2(c)(2)(C) requires the Secretary of State to submit a report within 30 days of enactment on the decision to terminate the bounty on Sirajuddin Haqqani and other key members of the Haqqani Network under the Rewards for Justice program, including the status of bounties, SDGT designations, US Government engagements since September 2021, and any new information on terrorist attacks targeting US military or civilians.

The strategy in section 2(c)(1) must now include efforts to support Afghan women and girls suffering under Taliban edicts (in a way that does not support the Taliban) and efforts to relocate eligible, fully vetted, at-risk Afghans and Afghan allies inside and outside Afghanistan to the United States or third countries.

Section 3(a) removed the requirement for the Secretary of State to consult with the Administrator of USAID before submitting the direct cash assistance report. Section 4(a) similarly removed USAID from the consultation requirement, leaving only the Secretary of the Treasury.

Multiple deadlines were extended: the initial identification report in section 2(b) moved from 30 days to 180 days; strategy development and implementation in section 2(c)(1) moved from 30/60 days to a single 180-day deadline; the direct cash assistance report in section 3(a) moved from 60 days to 90 days; and the Afghan Fund report in section 4(a) moved from 60 days to 90 days.

Recurring reports in sections 2(c)(2)(B) and 4(a) were capped at 5 years, whereas the original bill required them indefinitely (every 180 days thereafter with no end date).

Section 3(b)(1) was changed from 'an identification of implementing partners and recipients' to 'a general description of the types of implementing partners and recipients,' reducing the specificity required in the report. Section 4(b) added a 'to the extent possible' qualifier, giving the Secretary more discretion in what information is included.
