1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Directing Implementation of Sanctions and Accountability for Russian Mischief Act or DISARM Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Title II of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act ( Public Law 115–44 ; 22 U.S.C. 9501 et seq.), enacted in July 2017, seeks to— (A) punish the Russian Federation for interfering in the 2016 United States presidential election; (B) deter Russia’s ongoing aggression in Ukraine, cyber intrusions, attacks against the United States and its partners, and human rights violations; and (C) urge the Administration to vigorously enforce existing sanctions imposed by the United States against Russia. (2) Section 241(a) of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act requires the Secretary of the Treasury, not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of such Act, to submit to Congress a detailed report on senior foreign political figures and oligarchs in the Russian Federation, including the following: (A) An identification of the most significant senior foreign political figures and oligarchs in the Russian Federation, as determined by their closeness to the Russian regime and their net worth. . (B) An assessment of the relationship between individuals identified under subparagraph (A) and President Vladimir Putin or other members of the Russian ruling elite. . (C) An identification of any indices of corruption with respect to those individuals. . (D) The estimated net worth and known sources of income of those individuals and their family members (including spouses, children, parents, and siblings), including assets, investments, other business interests, and relevant beneficial ownership information. . (E) An identification of the non-Russian business affiliations of those individuals. . (3) Section 241(a) of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act further requires the Secretary of the Treasury to submit to Congress a detailed report on Russian parastatal entities, including an assessment of the following: (A) The emergence of Russian parastatal entities and their role in the economy of the Russian Federation. . (B) The leadership structures and beneficial ownership of those entities. . (C) The scope of the non-Russian business affiliations of those entities. . (4) On January 29, 2018, the Secretary of the Treasury submitted to Congress the report required by section 241 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, which included the names of 114 senior foreign political figures and 96 oligarchs. (5) The list of the senior foreign political figures and oligarchs in the report corresponds identically to lists on the English-language websites of the Kremlin, the Government of the Russian Federation, and the Russian edition of the Forbes billionaires list. (6) The list omits any description of the relationship between individuals identified in the report and indices of corruption with respect to those individuals. 3. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) sanctions serve as a deterrent only if the threat of sanctions is credible; (2) the January 29, 2018, report submitted by the Secretary of the Treasury to Congress under section 241 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act— (A) does not meet the intent of such section at the time of passage; (B) copies lists on the English-language websites of the Kremlin, the Government of the Russian Federation, and the Russian edition of the Forbes billionaires list and fails to exemplify the due diligence and rigorous forensic accounting expected by Congress; and (C) coupled with total silence by senior United States Administration officials regarding the report, sends the wrong signal to Russian President Putin and his inner circle; and (3) the Administration needs to act with strength, to act publicly, and to act forcefully to implement sanctions as intended, including using the report submitted under section 241 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act as the basis to impose sanctions against senior foreign political figures and oligarchs listed in such report. 4. Imposition of sanctions on certain senior foreign political figures and oligarchs in the Russian Federation and certain Russian parastatal entities (a) In general Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall impose sanctions described in subsection (c)— (1) with respect to not less than five individuals who— (A) are identified as senior foreign political figures or oligarchs in the Russian Federation in the report required by section 241(a)(1) of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act and submitted to Congress on January 29, 2018; and (B) are not currently subject to sanctions imposed by the United States; and (2) with respect to not less than five entities, including any individuals associated with such entities, that— (A) are identified as Russian parastatal entities in the report required by section 241(a)(2) of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act and submitted to Congress on January 29, 2018; and (B) are not currently subject to sanctions imposed by the United States.
