More money-laundering risk for fireworks traffickers
This bill would add interstate fireworks transportation to the list of "specified unlawful activities" used by federal money‑laundering laws. This would allow prosecutors to treat money from shipping fireworks across state lines as criminal proceeds and to seize assets tied to that money. People and businesses who traffic fireworks across state lines would face increased criminal exposure and asset‑forfeiture risk, and the bill's findings say penalties could reach up to 20 years in prison.
