This bill establishes a National Fraud Enforcement Division within the Department of Justice, under the authority of the Attorney General. The Division is headed by an Assistant Attorney General for National Fraud Enforcement, appointed under the Department's existing appointment authority and designated by the President. The Assistant Attorney General performs whatever duties the Attorney General assigns; the bill does not itself specify the Division's investigative powers or enforcement priorities. The bill also extends the political-activity restrictions that already cover Criminal Division employees under the Hatch Act to employees of the new Division.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 2 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 2 quarterly reports filed by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 25 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 41 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 43 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 34 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 29 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 50 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 228 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
