NOPE Act of 2026 No Oil Profits for Enemies Act of 2026
To amend the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act to expand review by Congress of actions relating to sanctions imposed with respect to the Russian Federation.
This bill aims to modify the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, focusing on increasing congressional oversight of sanctions imposed on Russia. Specifically, it seeks to expand the review process to ensure that Congress has a more significant role in decisions regarding sanctions against the Russian Federation. This would affect policymakers and the executive branch by requiring them to consult more with Congress before taking action on Russian sanctions.
The bill, sponsored by William Keating (Democrat) and James Moylan (Republican), was introduced on June 30, 2026, and referred to several key committees, including Foreign Affairs, Judiciary, Financial Services, Oversight and Government Reform, Ways and Means, and Rules. These committees will review the bill's provisions and decide how to proceed with the legislative process.
As of now, the bill is in its initial stages, having just been introduced and referred to the relevant committees. Future steps will include committee review, possible amendments, and a vote in the House. The goal is to ensure that any sanctions imposed on Russia are thoroughly vetted and considered by Congress.
