FinCEN must then order any appropriate financial institution to freeze that individual's assets. The bill also sets forth provisions for contesting a freeze, unfreezing assets, and disposing of assets in the event of a conviction. The Federal Bureau of Investigation must establish a national clearinghouse of incidents of homegrown "lone wolf" terrorism, domestic terrorism, and the provision of material support to terrorists.
