Fireworks Trafficking and Money Laundering Prevention Act

This bill would change federal money laundering law so that illegally transporting fireworks across state lines counts as a "specified unlawful activity." Under that change, handling or moving money that comes from illegal interstate fireworks trafficking could be prosecuted under federal money laundering statutes. Those statutes carry prison terms of up to twenty years, while the current fireworks transportation offense carries a maximum of one year. The bill also lists congressional findings about fireworks trafficking, injuries, and links to other crimes.
