An Act protecting bank employees and customers

This bill strengthens penalties for crimes committed against banks and credit unions while also making it easier for victims to file lawsuits in convenient locations. It directly affects bank employees, customers, and financial institutions by increasing the minimum prison sentences for armed robberies at these establishments and adding harsher punishments for repeat offenders. The legislation also expands the courts where legal action can be taken regarding fraudulent checks, allowing cases to be heard where the crime occurred or where the bank's main office is located.
