Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

New national fraud enforcement division

If enacted, the bill would create a National Fraud Enforcement Division inside the Department of Justice. The President would designate one Assistant Attorney General (from the Assistant Attorneys General appointed under current law), and the Senate would confirm that person to serve as Assistant Attorney General for National Fraud Enforcement and head the division. That Assistant Attorney General would run the new division and perform other duties the Attorney General assigns. The bill would add the new division to the Justice Department's table of sections but does not authorize any funding in the text.

Political activity ban for NFED staff

If enacted, the bill would extend the Justice Department's existing ban on political activity to employees of the National Fraud Enforcement Division. The change inserts the new division into 5 U.S.C. 7323(b)(3), so NFED staff would follow the same political‑activity limits that apply to other covered DOJ components such as the Criminal Division. This change affects only NFED personnel, not the general public.
