Fireworks Trafficking and Money Laundering Prevention Act

This bill, titled the Fireworks Trafficking and Money Laundering Prevention Act, aims to combat illegal interstate fireworks trafficking by treating it as a serious financial crime. It directly affects individuals and organizations involved in the unauthorized transport and sale of fireworks across state lines. The key provision designates the illegal movement of fireworks as a "specified unlawful activity," which allows law enforcement to apply federal money laundering laws to the profits generated from these sales. This change increases the maximum possible prison sentence for related offenses from one year to twenty years and provides authorities with additional tools to seize illicit assets.
