H.R. 9552 – NOPE Act of 2026

AI-Generated Summary

Updated July 6, 2026 at 1:43 PM UTC

The NOPE Act of 2026 amends the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act to give Congress broader oversight of U.S. sanctions aimed at the Russian Federation. It adds new categories of sanctions—especially those involving Russian oil, gas and other energy products—to the list of actions that must be reviewed by Congress, and it ties the review period to the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine and a commitment to compensate Ukraine. The bill also creates limited exceptions for urgent energy‑related actions needed for safety, emergency repairs, or to lessen economic impacts elsewhere.

Key Provisions

Expands the types of sanctions subject to congressional review to include any executive order related to the national emergency on Russian activities.
Adds energy‑related sanctions (crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas, and other Russian energy products) to the list of actions Congress must review.
Sets a review period that runs from the bill’s enactment until the Secretary of State, with input from Treasury, Defense, and Intelligence, certifies that Russia has ended its war in Ukraine and committed to a peace settlement with compensation for war damages.
Creates an exception allowing certain urgent energy‑related actions—such as those needed for crew safety, emergency vessel repairs, environmental protection, or mitigating economic impacts in other countries—without waiting for the full congressional review.
