Co-Sponsored Legislation

Feb 16, 2012 | Blog

On Tuesday, Senator Rubio joined as a co-sponsor of S.2058, a bill to close loopholes, increase transparency, and improve the effectiveness of sanctions on Iranian trade in petroleum products.
 
The bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report to Congress every 180 days regarding Iranian imports of crude oil and refined petroleum products. It also states that the Secretary of Energy (DOE) shall engage in any activity involving the Strategic Petroleum Reserve only with a person certifying to the Secretary that the person is not directly or indirectly conducting transactions in or with Iran or an Iranian entity.
