Tougher penalties for credit card fraud and better police teamwork to stop it.
This bill would make federal penalties tougher for people caught doing credit card fraud and identity theft. It would also ask the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to tell Congress how police at all levels are working together to stop these crimes. They would also suggest ways to improve these efforts.
Today, federal sentencing guidelines for credit card fraud and identity theft are at existing levels, and there is no specific requirement for the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to report to Congress on coordinated efforts to combat this fraud. If this bill passes, federal sentencing guidelines would be updated to include tougher penalties, with a baseline increase of 4 levels and a minimum offense level of 14 in certain cases. Additionally, the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to submit a report to Congress within 90 days, detailing law enforcement efforts and offering recommendations.
