S. 2376 would expand federal racketeering law by adding rioting to the list of crimes that prosecutors can charge under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Currently, RICO applies to a broad range of criminal activities, but rioting is not included; this bill would add it to that definition. This change would allow federal prosecutors to bring more serious racketeering charges against individuals or groups involved in riots, potentially increasing penalties for those crimes. The bill affects anyone who could be prosecuted under RICO for riot-related conduct. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation.
