H.R. 9495 is the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act .

We are aware of no evidence having been provided within the House record regarding this legislation.

The Supreme Court made clear in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project that the federal statute prohibiting material support to terrorist groups does not criminalize independent advocacy unless it is performed in coordination with or at the direction of a foreign terrorist organization.
