This bill, titled the STREAMLINE Act, mandates significant updates to the threshold amounts for various financial reporting requirements. It requires the Secretary of the Treasury to increase the threshold for Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) and reports concerning coins and currency received in nonfinancial trade or business from the current $10,000 to $30,000 . To maintain relevance, these updated thresholds will be automatically adjusted every five years based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. The legislation further directs federal agencies to raise the thresholds for Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) , specifically increasing the $2,000 threshold to $3,000 and the $5,000 threshold to $10,000 . Moreover, it tasks the Treasury Secretary with conducting a comprehensive review and subsequent update of existing reporting forms and requirements to ensure their efficiency and effectiveness in identifying illicit financial activities. A report summarizing these findings and recommending further improvements must be submitted to Congress.
