This bill establishes a new National Fraud Enforcement Division within the Department of Justice to coordinate federal efforts against fraud. The division would be headed by an Assistant Attorney General, appointed by the President with Senate approval, who would oversee investigations and prosecutions of fraud affecting the federal government, federally funded programs, and U.S. citizens. The Assistant Attorney General would lead multi-district and multi-agency fraud investigations, advise U.S. Attorneys' offices, work with federal agencies to dismantle organized fraud schemes, and develop national enforcement priorities. The legislation also directs the division to propose legislative and regulatory reforms to address systemic vulnerabilities that enable fraud. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines, focusing instead on establishing the division's structure and responsibilities.
