This bill would make it harder for criminals to hide illegal money and fake currency. It increases prison sentences and fines for bulk cash smuggling and operating illegal money services businesses. It also gives law enforcement more tools to investigate and prosecute these crimes, including those related to tax evasion and informal money transfers.

This bill would make it easier for state and local governments to issue bonds that help fund student loans. By removing certain tax rules, it could lead to lower interest rates for students borrowing money for college. It aims to make these bonds more attractive to investors and simpler to manage for those who issue them.

This bill would extend key government surveillance powers for 8 years. It would also give members of Congress and their staff full access to proceedings in the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, overriding current limits. The bill makes it easier for people to sue the government if they're illegally watched and creates stronger penalties for officials who misuse surveillance powers.

This bill would make it a federal crime to threaten someone with sharing child sexual abuse material, even if the material doesn't actually exist. It would also increase prison sentences by 10 years for those who use such material to extort or scare victims. These changes aim to give more protection to children and victims.

Federal sentencing rules for crimes involving child sexual abuse material would be updated under this bill. The goal is to make sure punishments better reflect the harm to victims and how modern technology is used in these crimes. People convicted of these offenses could face tougher sentences.

This bill would create a new federal crime. It targets adults who intentionally force children under 18 to commit harmful acts like suicide, violence, or online harassment. This law would protect minors by making such coercion illegal, and offenders would face severe federal prison time and fines.

This bill would require the government to perform yearly fraud checks on health insurance tax credits. It aims to make sure these credits, which help people pay for health insurance, are used correctly. This would mean new reports for federal health and treasury departments, and for Congress.
