‘‘(A) IN
GENERAL.—The United States 
may impose a sanction that blocks property of

result, including— 
‘‘(i) endangering the life or physical 
safety of an individual; 
‘‘(ii) flight from prosecution; 
‘‘(iii) destruction of or tampering with 
evidence;

ing required by paragraph (1) within 48 hours 
after the property is blocked. 
‘‘(3) SUBSEQUENT COURT ACTIONS.—Upon a 
finding of probable cause, the court may issue the 
warrant. Upon the motion of the United States, the 
court may require the execution of satisfactory per-
formance bonds, create receiverships, appoint con-
servators, custodians, appraisers, accountants, or 
trustees, or take any other action to secure, main-
tain, or preserve the availability of the property that 
is the subject of the warrant. 
‘‘(c) PROCEDURES
REGARDING
CHARITIES.—The 
President shall establish procedures with respect to the 
imposition of a sanction that blocks property of a charity 
in order to implement the following: 
‘‘(1) PRIOR NOTICE; OPPORTUNITY FOR COM-
PLIANCE.—In any case in which the President an-
ticipates imposing such a sanction on a charity, the 
President shall, before imposing the sanction, notify 
the charity in writing, by delivery to the chief execu-
tive officer or chair of the governing body of the 
charity, of the facts, events, persons, and other rel-
evant information serving as the basis for imposing 
the sanction, and setting forth the steps the charity 
may take to avoid imposition of the sanction.

‘‘(2) NOTICE.—If the sanction is imposed on 
the charity because the charity has failed to take the 
steps described in paragraph (1), or if paragraph (3) 
applies, the President shall notify the charity, in the 
manner described in paragraph (1), of the imposi-
tion of the sanction. 
‘‘(3) EXIGENT
CIRCUMSTANCES.—The notice 
under paragraph (1) need not be provided if the 
President determines that there is probable cause to 
believe that the property of the charity is subject to 
the sanction and that providing such notice and op-
portunity— 
‘‘(A) will jeopardize the availability of the 
property; or 
‘‘(B) may have an adverse result, includ-
ing— 
‘‘(i) endangering the life or physical 
safety of an individual; 
‘‘(ii) flight from prosecution; 
‘‘(iii) destruction of or tampering with 
evidence; 
‘‘(iv) intimidation of potential wit-
nesses; or 
‘‘(v) otherwise seriously jeopardizing 
an investigation.

The President shall provide a charity notified under 
paragraph (1) or (2) of the imposition of a sanction 
an opportunity to provide a response to imposing the 
sanction, including a hearing on the record if so re-
quested by the charity. Such hearing or other pro-
ceeding agreed to by the parties shall be held not 
later than 60 days after the notice is provided. 
‘‘(5) SUBSEQUENT ALLEGATIONS.—If, after no-
tice is provided under paragraph (1) or (2), addi-
tional allegations arise involving the charity that are 
or may provide additional bases for imposing the 
sanction involving blocking property of the charity, 
the procedures under this subsection shall apply with 
respect to such additional allegations. 
‘‘(d) PERIODIC REVIEW OF BLOCKING ORDERS.— 
‘‘(1) PERIODIC REVIEW.—The President shall— 
‘‘(A) at least once in every 2-year period, 
review each sanction imposed that involves 
blocking the property of a charity in order to 
ensure that the basis for imposing the sanction 
remains valid; and 
‘‘(B) provide the charity an opportunity for 
a hearing on the record with respect to such re-
view.
