Zero Tolerance for Fraudsters Act of 2026

This bill would set mandatory minimum prison sentences for certain federal fraud and false-statement crimes based on the dollar amount involved. For covered offenses involving $1 million or more but less than $5 million, a person would face a fine and at least one year and up to 10 years in prison. For offenses involving $5 million or more, a person would face a fine and at least 5 years and up to 20 years in prison, unless the underlying law already allows a longer sentence. The covered crimes include false statements to the federal government, mail fraud, wire fraud, and health care fraud, among others.
