## Summary

**Expands federal bank robbery law to include network-connected ATMs and cash in transit.** The bill would define “ATM” as a network-connected terminal that uses a bank-issued card or other access device and would treat ATMs and cash being loaded or unloaded as within a bank, credit union, or savings association’s custody for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 2113. - Depository institutions (banks, credit unions, savings associations): Would receive federal protection for robberies of ATMs and cash in transit even when an ATM is off-site or not owned by the institution. - ATM owners and cash transporters: Robberies of network-connected ATMs or cash being loaded or unloaded would fall under the federal bank robbery framework, broadening where federal charges can apply. - People who steal from ATMs or intercept cash in transit: Could face federal bank robbery charges when the targeted ATM is network-connected or the cash is destined for an ATM, because the bill ties the ATM definition to an access-device standard.
