This legislation aims to strengthen legal protections for veterans by amending Section 2326(2) of title 18, United States Code . This section currently outlines enhanced penalties for specific crimes, often related to fraud and telemarketing. The amendment expands the categories of victims to include " targeted veterans of any age," as defined in title 38. Consequently, individuals who commit certain offenses against veterans will face more severe penalties. The bill's purpose is to deter fraudulent activities and provide greater legal recourse for veterans who are victims of such crimes.
