 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

No Assistance for Assad Act

This bill prohibits FY2018-FY2022 reconstruction or stabilization assistance from being provided for any area of Syria controlled by the Syrian government or associated forces unless the President certifies that the Syrian government has stopped attacking civilians and is making progress in areas such as human rights, complying with international obligations, ending missile development and deployment, and refugee repatriation.

The President shall recertify whether such conditions are being met every 90 days.

Such prohibition shall not apply to assistance for locally administered projects and humanitarian needs.

The Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development shall report to Congress regarding the delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance to Syria.
