This is a document entitled “On Preventing Malicious Activities of Russia in the Field of Terrorism” (Stopping Malign Activities from Russian Terrorism Act). The author of the bill was Colorado Republican Senator Corey Gardner. The bill "obliges the secretary of state to determine whether the Russian Federation should be considered a sponsor of terrorism and whether Russian-sponsored armed groups should be declared foreign terrorist organizations."

“No later than 90 days after the date of entry into force of this Law, the Secretary of State must submit a report to the relevant congressional committees indicating whether the Russian Federation meets the criteria for recognition as a state sponsor of terrorism,” the text of the document reads.
