Federal agencies would have to work together on a national plan to fight scams. The plan would use current complaint systems, public education, industry input, and existing fraud laws. The task force would report within one year and shut down after 10 years.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 5967: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and businesses hit by scams, federal agencies that handle fraud, and companies where scams often reach victims. It could change how agencies share reports, warn the public, and help victims after losses. It could also bring more regular contact between federal officials and banks, payment apps, crypto platforms, dating apps, search engines, social media sites, communications firms, and consumer-facing AI apps.
Why this matters: Scams can drain money, steal personal data, and spread through services people use every day. This bill tries to make the federal response more organized. It brings agencies, states, local police, consumer groups, and major industries into one long-term effort. The bill may improve data sharing, public warnings, and victim support. But it does not add new penalties or funding, so results would depend on how agencies use the tools they already have.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
