How the Date Is Worked Out

  1. Enacted Oct. 25, 2018 (Pub. L. 115-272).
  2. Text: “Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of the Hizballah International Financing Prevention Amendments Act of 2018.” Oct. 25, 2018 + 180 days = Apr. 23, 2019.
  3. Recurs every 2 years, running from the first deadline: Apr. 23, 2019 + k × 2 years.
  4. As of Nov. 11, 2026: next deadline Apr. 23, 2027 (163 days away); previous Apr. 23, 2025.

Evidence Searched

  • GovInfo Congressionally Mandated Reports collection: 1,209 packages listed; titles searched for Middle East terms; 55 State, Defense, Treasury and executive-office summaries checked for citations to Pub. L. 115-272 (0 found) (Oct. 17, 2026)
  • Federal Register API: phrase “Hizballah International Financing Prevention Act”: 13 document titles searched (Oct. 17, 2026)
  • MEF hand review: evidence.json, items with a link and a note on what the document shows (Oct. 17, 2026)

A status of “Reported late by GAO, committee or agency” appears only with a linked GAO, committee or agency statement. Reports sent only to committees, or in classified form, leave no public trace; their absence here is not evidence of a missed deadline.

Review

  • Machine-extracted by rule from the public law text; awaiting named human review.
