## Summary

**Would give the Treasury authority to designate foreign banks as primary money-laundering concerns for fentanyl and require U.S. banks to take special anti-money-laundering measures.** It would also allow courts to receive classified evidence privately and apply protections and penalties from the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act to related reports and violations. - Foreign financial institutions operating outside the United States could be designated as tied to illicit fentanyl and narcotics financing, triggering special measures. - Domestic financial institutions and domestic financial agencies could be required to take one or more special measures under 31 U.S.C. 5318A(b). - In judicial review, classified information may be submitted ex parte and in camera, which affects how challenges are litigated. - Reports filed under these requirements would receive the same disclosure exemptions and penalties that apply under the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2021. - The Secretary of the Treasury could bring civil actions to enjoin violations using the authority described in the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2021.
