Plain-English Summary
The legislation would establish new federal penalties and enforcement measures targeting credit card skimming—a crime where thieves secretly capture card information from payment terminals or ATMs to commit fraud. Law enforcement agencies would gain additional tools and resources to investigate and prosecute skimming operations, while businesses that accept credit cards would face requirements to implement security measures to prevent this type of theft. The law aims to protect consumers and merchants from financial losses caused by this growing form of identity theft.
