Enhanced Oversight and Privacy Protection in Financial Crime Enforcement

This act aims to increase oversight of the government agency (FinCEN) dealing with financial crimes to better protect citizens' privacy. It introduces new positions and rules to ensure the agency's actions are transparent and lawful, while minimizing burdens on ordinary people.
Key points
The Director of FinCEN will be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, increasing independence and accountability.
A new office within the Inspector General's department will oversee FinCEN, with a strong focus on protecting civil liberties and privacy.
A dedicated Civil Liberties Protection Officer will be established to ensure FinCEN's activities do not infringe on citizens' privacy.
Increased transparency: key documents and operational policies of FinCEN will be publicly available, and the agency will regularly report to Congress.
