Summary
(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.)
START I Treaty Inspections and Monitoring Protocol Continuation Act of 2009 - Authorizes the President, under conditions set forth by this Act, to accord to eligible officials of the Russian Federation the privileges and immunities provided for in Article II, paragraph 7 of the (July 1991) Protocol on Inspections and Continuous Monitoring Activities Relating to the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms in order to facilitate continued application of the arrangements provided for in the period following the Protocol's termination on December 5, 2009.
States that: (1) An official of the Russian Federation shall be eligible for such privileges and immunities only if the official has been invited by the U.S. government after December 5, 2009, to perform an inspection or continuous monitoring activity within U.S. territory consistent with Protocol procedures; (2) such privileges and immunities shall be accorded only to perform official inspection or monitoring activities and not for personal benefit; (3) such privileges and immunities may be accorded for the entire time the official is in U.S. territory and thereafter with respect to acts previously performed in the exercise of official functions; and (4) such official shall respect U.S. laws and regulations, not interfere in internal U.S. affairs, and not engage in any professional or commercial activity for personal profit.
