Combating Terrorist and Illicit Financing: Enhanced Support for Local Communities
This act expands the national strategy for combating terrorist and other illicit financing by including tribal governments and U.S. territories. This means local communities, including those most vulnerable to human trafficking, will receive greater support and have more input in national efforts against financial crime. The goal is to more effectively combat money laundering and terrorist financing, leading to greater financial and personal security for citizens.
Key points
Inclusion of tribal governments and U.S. territories in national anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing programs, expanding the reach of efforts.
Strengthening cooperation among various levels of law enforcement (federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial) for more effective financial crime combat.
Extension of the National Strategy for Combating Terrorist and Other Illicit Financing until 2026, ensuring continuity of efforts.
Expansion of support for local financial crime fighting programs, potentially leading to safer communities and fewer financial scams.
