The original co-sponsors of this legislation include the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), Reps. Albio Sires (D-New Jersey), Connie Mack (R-Fla.), Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.), Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), David Rivera (R-Fla.), and Allen B. West (R-Fla.).

Four Congressional Committees will consider the measure including the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Financial Services Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The bill would amend the Cuban Liberty and Solidarity Act of 1996.

Once the bill is available from the Government Printing Office, we will update this post.
