Bill > S5426

This bill, titled the National Fraud Enforcement Division Act of 2026, amends federal law to officially establish a new National Fraud Enforcement Division within the Department of Justice (DOJ), which is the federal executive department responsible for enforcing the law and administering justice in the United States. To lead this newly created division, the legislation establishes a new Senate-confirmed position known as the Assistant Attorney General for National Fraud Enforcement, who will be appointed by the President and tasked with heading the division and carrying out duties assigned by the Attorney General. Additionally, to ensure the independence of this office from partisan politics, the bill applies existing political activity prohibitions—similar to those already governing the DOJ's Criminal Division—to the personnel within the National Fraud Enforcement Division, restricting certain types of political campaign involvement.
