Official Summary

8/10/2012--Public Law. (This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the House on July 17, 2012. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Directs the Secretary to report to Congress on:
(1) whether the Haqqani Network meets the criteria for designation as a foreign terrorist organization; and
(2) which criteria have not been met, if the Secretary determines that the Haqqani Network does not meet such designation. States that nothing in this Act may be construed to infringe upon the sovereignty of Pakistan to combat militant or terrorist groups operating inside its boundaries.
