Veterans Protection from Fraud Act of 2026

This bill would change a federal criminal law, Section 2326 of title 18, that adds extra prison time for certain fraud crimes. Under current law, that extra penalty applies in telemarketing and email marketing fraud cases when the offender victimized ten or more people over age 55 or targeted people over age 55. The bill would add a third category: offenders who targeted veterans of any age. It uses the federal definition of 'veteran' in section 101 of title 38.
