AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change the federal crime of theft or bribery involving programs that receive federal money. It would raise the maximum prison sentence from 10 years to 20 years. It would set the fine at $250,000 or twice the value of the property or bribe involved, whichever is greater. The bill would also require each organization that runs the summer food service program to have its accounts and records audited every year by an outside auditor, who would send the results directly to the Secretary of Agriculture.
