Bill > HR4620

This bill proposes to amend the United States Code by adding rioting (specifically referencing section 2101 of title 18) to the definition of racketeering activity. In legal terms, racketeering typically refers to organized criminal activity, and this amendment would expand the existing legal framework to include riots within that definition. By inserting "section 2101 (relating to riots)" into the current list of racketeering activities, the bill would potentially allow prosecutors to use racketeering laws and penalties against individuals involved in riot-related offenses. This could have significant implications for how riots are prosecuted, potentially enabling more severe legal consequences and allowing for broader investigations and prosecutions of group-based disruptive activities. The bill is relatively short and focused on this specific legal modification to the existing statutory definition of racketeering.
