Hold Vandals Accountable Act of 2026

This bill changes the federal law that makes it a crime to damage, or try to damage, property of the United States. That law uses a dollar amount of damage to decide which penalty level applies. The bill lowers that dollar amount from $1,000 to $500 everywhere it appears in the law. As a result, damage of more than $500 would fall under the higher penalty level instead of damage of more than $1,000.
