Bill > HR5594

This bill amends the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 to expand the definition of local law enforcement grants related to cybercrimes by explicitly including identity theft. Specifically, the bill defines identity theft as a criminal offense involving knowingly transferring, possessing, or using another person's means of identification without lawful authority. The amendment modifies existing law by adding a new paragraph to define identity theft and updates multiple subsections to include "identity theft" alongside "cybercrimes against individuals" when referring to grant eligibility. By doing so, the bill aims to provide local law enforcement agencies with additional resources and support to investigate and prosecute identity theft crimes, recognizing the growing digital threat of personal information misuse. The legislation is titled the "Protect Your PIN Act of 2025" and appears designed to enhance legal protections against a increasingly common form of cybercrime.
