RSF Terrorist Designation Act
To direct the Secretary of State to conduct a comprehensive review of whether to designate the Rapid Support Forces of Sudan as a specially designated global terrorist organization.
This bill, HB8301, proposes to have the Secretary of State review whether the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of Sudan should be designated as a specially designated global terrorist organization. This means the bill wants to look into whether the RSF should be officially labeled as a terrorist group by the U.S. government.
If the RSF were to be designated as a terrorist organization, it could affect how the U.S. interacts with Sudan and its military forces. It could also impact international aid and diplomatic relations. This designation would have significant implications for both countries.
HB8301 was introduced on April 15, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on the Judiciary for further review. This means the bill is currently being considered by relevant committees in the House of Representatives. It is still in the early stages of the legislative process.
