It requires a determination on whether Houthi members meet criteria for sanctions under existing laws. Additionally, it mandates reports on Houthi indoctrination efforts, human rights abuses, and obstacles to humanitarian aid in Yemen. The act authorizes sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights and Accountability Act and the Robert Levinson Hostage Taking and Accountability Act. The act will terminate five years after its enactment.
