Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2023

Summary

Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2023 This bill requires the Department of State to provide an annual report to Congress on ties between criminal gangs and political and economic elites in Haiti.

The President may waive sanctions in certain circumstances.
