Protecting Americans from Russian Litigation Act of 2025

S. 2934, introduced by Sen. Cornyn (R-TX) with one cosponsor, passed the Senate by unanimous consent on April 28, 2026, and was received in the House on May 4, 2026, where it currently sits 'held at the desk.' The bill amends Chapter 111 of Title 28, U.S. Code, to prohibit any person (except the U.S. government) from bringing a civil action in federal or state court to enforce a foreign judgment or arbitral award if the underlying claim resulted from actions to comply with U.S. sanctions or if the foreign court asserted jurisdiction based on U.S. sanctions. This is a procedural limitation on litigation, not a spending or procurement bill. It authorizes zero dollars and does not create any contracts, grants, tax credits, or regulatory changes that would affect corporate revenues or costs. The companion bill, H.R. 6194, has been ordered reported (amended) by voice vote in the House, indicating some legislative momentum, but the bill remains in early House stage. No publicly traded companies are directly impacted because the bill targets foreign litigation enforcement, not U.S. business operations. The policy area is 'Law,' and no sector—Defense, Technology, Energy, or otherwise—faces material financial exposure. The bill's impact is limited to legal procedural changes for entities involved in sanctions-related disputes, which are not publicly traded companies.
