Bill Intelligence
The bill aims to amend the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016 to allow claims to recover Nazi-looted art, regardless of time passed since World War II.
The bill intends to preclude courts from using defenses based on the passage of time, international comity, and similar doctrines unrelated to the merits of the claim.
It proposes nationwide service of process for civil actions brought in any State or Federal court related to Nazi-looted art recovery.
The amendments made by the bill will apply to pending civil claims or causes of action related to Nazi-looted art and those filed on or after the date of enactment.
