Purpose and Summary

No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act

This bill requires the Department of State to develop and implement a strategy to discourage foreign countries and nongovernmental organizations from providing financial or material support to the Taliban, including by using U.S.-provided foreign assistance to discourage countries and organizations from providing such support to the Taliban.

The State Department must report to Congress on (1) foreign countries and nongovernmental organizations that have provided financial or material support to the Taliban and U.S. efforts to oppose such support; (2) the strategy to discourage such support and a plan for the strategy's implementation; (3) U.S.-funded direct cash assistance programs in Afghanistan; and (4) the Afghan Fund, including Taliban influence over Da Afghanistan Bank (the Afghan central bank).

Bill 119 hr 260, also known as the "Opposing Taliban Support Act," is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main objective of this bill is to require the development of a strategy to counter any financial or material support provided by foreign countries and nongovernmental organizations to the Taliban, a militant group in Afghanistan.

By requiring the development of a strategy to oppose such support, the bill seeks to weaken the Taliban and enhance the security and stability of Afghanistan.

In addition to addressing foreign support to the Taliban, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to countering terrorism and promoting peace and security in the region. These provisions may include measures to enhance cooperation with international partners, strengthen diplomatic efforts, and support the Afghan government in its efforts to combat terrorism. Overall, Bill 119 hr 260 is aimed at addressing the issue of external support to the Taliban and promoting peace and security in Afghanistan. It underscores the importance of countering terrorism and supporting the Afghan government in its efforts to combat militant groups like the Taliban.
