What it does
This bill changes a 2002 law about terrorism insurance. It says when a company or group is linked to terrorism, that decision happens on one date. That date is when the victim starts trying to collect the money. Before, the timing was unclear.
Who it affects
Terrorism victims who won court cases are affected. They need to collect money the court ordered. Companies or groups linked to terrorism are also affected.
One thing to notice
The bill picks one moment to decide if a defendant is linked to terrorism. This stops defendants from claiming their status changed between the court ruling and collection.
