Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The bill raises the maximum Department of State reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Nicolás Maduro Moros to up to $100,000,000. Payments must come exclusively from liquidation of assets being withheld from Maduro, regime officials, and co-conspirators under specified U.S. sanctions authorities and executive orders.
Diplomatic risk versus criminal accountability emphasis
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused substantive policy change that clearly amends reward-authority law and prescribes a non-appropriated funding source.

Diplomatic risk versus criminal accountability emphasis
These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Diplomatic risk versus criminal accountability emphasis
Likely favorable to stronger accountability for alleged narco-terrorism and human-rights abuses.
Supportive because the measure uses sanctioned regime assets, not taxpayer funds, but cautious about legal and humanitarian consequences.
Concerned about due process, potential diplomatic fallout, and impacts on broader Venezuelan civilians.
Generally supportive of stronger enforcement against foreign criminal leaders while seeking guardrails.
Views use of seized assets as fiscally sensible, but wants clarity on legal authority, oversight, and diplomatic tradeoffs.
Likely to push for implementation details and limits on unintended consequences.
Strongly favorable as a tough, tangible measure against Nicolás Maduro and his alleged narco-terrorism.
Appreciates large reward and use of confiscated regime assets.
May still want assurance payments cannot be misused and that the executive acts decisively.
