HCM 2001: Muslim Brotherhood; designation; terrorist organization

Sponsor: Representative Gillette, LD 30

Transmitted to the Secretary of State

Overview

Urges the President of the United States and Congress to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.

History

Federal law authorizes the U.S. Secretary of State to designate an organization as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. To make a designation, the Secretary of State must determine that an organization is foreign, engages in terrorist activity or terrorism or retains the capability and intent to engage in such activity and that the organization’s terrorist activity threatens the security of U.S. nationals or the national security of the U.S.

The statute requires advance notification to congressional leadership and publication of the designation in the Federal Register. A designated organization may seek judicial review of the designation in federal court (8 U.S.C. § 1189).

Provisions

1.   Urges the President of the U.S. and Congress to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.

2.   Requests that the Attorney General of Arizona and relevant law enforcement agencies direct efforts to identify, monitor and report Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations operating within Arizona, including financial, educational and advocacy groups.

3.   Directs the Arizona Secretary of State to transmit copies of the Memorial to the President of the U.S., the President of the U.S. Senate, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, each member of Congress from Arizona, the Governor of Arizona and the Attorney General of Arizona.
