The Protect Your PIN Act of 2025 expands an existing federal grant program to help local law enforcement agencies combat identity theft alongside other cybercrimes. Currently, the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 provides grants specifically for enforcing cybercrimes, but this new bill adds identity theft as an eligible focus area for those same grants. The legislation defines identity theft as the unauthorized possession, transfer, or use of someone else's personal identification information. By broadening the grant program's scope, the bill aims to give state, tribal, and local police departments additional resources to investigate and prosecute identity theft cases. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, but instead amends the existing grant framework to include this crime category alongside current cybercrime enforcement efforts.
