What this bill would do

The SKIM Act aims to combat access device fraud through updated sentencing and increased reporting. It directs the United States Sentencing Commission to revise guidelines to increase offense levels for certain fraud crimes. The bill also mandates a comprehensive report from the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to Congress. This report must cover coordinated efforts between federal, state, and local law enforcement. Additionally, the report must assess fraud technologies, assistance requests, and high-concern areas.
