S. 5457: National Fraud Enforcement Division Act of 2026
This bill would create a new division within the U.S. Department of Justice called the National Fraud Enforcement Division.
What it would do
- Add a new section to federal law establishing the division inside the DOJ.
- Create a new leadership role: an Assistant Attorney General for National Fraud Enforcement.
- Make that official the head of the new division, with any other duties assigned by the Attorney General.
- Update federal civil service rules so this new division is covered by existing restrictions on political activity for certain DOJ employees.
- Make a technical update to the law’s table of contents to reflect the new division.
Practical effect
In simple terms, the bill would set up a dedicated DOJ office focused on fraud enforcement, with its own top official. The bill does not spell out specific crimes, penalties, or new enforcement powers; it mainly reorganizes the Department of Justice by creating this new division and leadership position.
