Summary

The Comptroller General must give Congress a report before the end of the 18-month period beginning on November 12, 1999. After consulting several federal and state regulators (for example, the FTC, banking regulators, the NCUA, the SEC, law enforcement, and state insurance regulators), the report must say whether the remedies in this part stop people from getting financial information by fraud or false pretenses and recommend any needed new laws or rules. Each year, the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General must report to Congress how many enforcement actions were taken under this part and how those cases were resolved.
