Latest action on S. 3900: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 504.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people in Iran who face internet blocks, surveillance, and crackdowns, especially journalists, activists, and civil society groups. It also affects U.S. agencies that run foreign policy, media, grants, sanctions, and cybersecurity programs. Foreign companies and other non-U.S. actors that sell surveillance or censorship tools could also face closer review and possible sanctions.

Why this matters: This matters because Iran’s government can shut down the internet, limit outside news, and track or punish people who speak out. This bill tries to make those crackdowns harder by expanding tools, funding, and coordination for internet access, secure communication, and media support. It also gives Congress more oversight over sanctions and spending, which could pressure the executive branch to act more consistently. How much it changes real life would still depend on future funding, agency follow-through, and how Iran responds.

Key provisions in S. 3900

• The bill says the United States should back people in Iran who want free and fair elections, open internet access, and ways to record human rights abuses.
• The Secretary of State would lead all federal work on internet freedom in Iran. That office would also keep updating the existing U.S. strategy on the issue.
• The bill requires a full new strategy on internet freedom in Iran within 120 days. It must examine VPNs, direct-to-cell satellite service, and ways around total internet shutdowns.
• The government would have to produce a new report on direct-to-cell wireless service and its risks. That report must also look at drones, signal jamming, and how ownership of Iran’s phone and internet networks affects censorship.
• The Iran Internet Freedom Grant Program would last longer and get more money. The bill sets a minimum of $20 million a year for fiscal years 2027 through 2030.
