AI Summary: This regulation aims to restore integrity to America's financial system by safeguarding financial institutions against risks posed by illicit cross-border financial activity and the extension of credit to individuals without work authorization. It directs the Secretary of the Treasury to issue an advisory to financial institutions detailing red flags and typologies associated with suspicious activities like payroll tax evasion, the use of complex structures to hide beneficial owners, off-the-books wage payments, and financial activity indicative of labor trafficking. Furthermore, it mandates proposals to strengthen risk-based customer due diligence and identification requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act, ensuring institutions collect sufficient customer information to assess risks and maintain the ability to obtain additional information when necessary, including regarding immigration status and employment authorization when relevant to assessing illicit financial activity. The regulation also addresses structural credit risks by considering whether potential deportation and loss of wages should be factored into an "ability-to-repay" determination for non-work authorized borrowers and by requiring federal financial regulators to issue guidance on managing credit risks posed by this population.
