Staged Accident Fraud Prevention Act of 2026

This bill would make it a federal crime for a driver to intentionally cause a collision with a commercial motor vehicle. A person convicted could be fined, imprisoned for up to 20 years, or both. If the staged collision causes serious bodily injury or death to another person, the penalty would be a fine, imprisonment for at least 20 years, or both. People who arrange for someone else to stage such a collision would face the same penalties, and a person already convicted or acquitted for the same act under state or territorial law could not be prosecuted under this section.
