The bill is mute. I think the US Justice Department should evaluate the judgement for victims and make recommendations.

The current agreement states there will be more sanctions added to Iran. I am curious about the integrity of the judgement. The lawsuit for losses is against Hezbollah. Does it have it's own banking funds?

Legislation would not allow Obama admin to release money until terror victims paid (click here)
Congress is considering new legislation that would block the Obama administration from releasing billions of dollars to the Iranian regime as was agreed to under the parameters of the recent nuclear accord, according to Rep. Patrick Meehan (R., Pa.), the lawmaker spearheading the bill.
The bill, which is expected to be brought to the House floor for a vote this week, would require Iran to first pay $43.5 billion in legal penalties awarded by U.S. courts to American victims of Iranian terrorism.
President Obama would then be in a position to either disregard the requirement under his executive authority, thereby clearing the way for Iran to immediately receive $150 billion, or force Tehran to negotiate settlements for these terror victims....

If the penalties go to Iran, what makes that will impact Hezbollah? I would think the UN and the UN Security Council has more potential to resolving the pain the loss of Americans. There is also the World Court. It is one thing to have a judgement by an American court, it is quiet something else to have the support of the world.
