The House of Assembly in The Bahamas passed the Anti-Terrorism (Amendment) Bill in October 2026. Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis stated the legislation closes a gap between international commitments and domestic law. The bill ensures The Bahamas complies with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1737 and Resolution 2231, which require states to freeze funds and assets linked to proliferation concerns.

Davis noted that maintaining credibility in the financial services sector is crucial, describing it as 'capital.' The new law requires Bahamian legislation to capture designations under both UN resolutions and follow the evolving international regime. This action is intended to strengthen the country's compliance with international standards.
