Plain-English Summary

The proposal would officially recognize May 8, 2025, as "National Scam Survivor Day" to raise awareness about fraud and honor people who have been victims of scams. The designation aims to highlight the problem of consumer fraud and support efforts to educate the public about how to avoid becoming scam victims. This symbolic recognition does not create new laws or programs, but rather designates a specific day for national awareness and recognition.
