US SB3273

States, territories, and local governments that arrest or detain current or former officials from NATO countries or Major Non-NATO Allies based solely on International Criminal Court warrants, indictments, or summonses would be prohibited from receiving Department of Justice grants for a four-year period

The grant prohibition also applies to jurisdictions that cooperate with or assist the ICC in effectuating such arrests or detentions

The Attorney General may waive the grant penalty if the President certifies to the Senate and House Judiciary, Foreign Relations/Affairs, and Armed Services Committees that the arrest action is essential to U.S. national security interests
