Plain-English Summary
The proposal would expand federal racketeering laws to treat rioting as a criminal enterprise activity, allowing prosecutors to bring more serious charges against people involved in organized riots. This could enable the government to pursue longer sentences and additional penalties for individuals participating in riots that are part of a larger criminal pattern or organization. The change would primarily affect how federal prosecutors handle cases involving group violence and civil unrest.
