S. 1883 would broaden the coverage of current laws that address money laundering. People
who violate the bill's provisions could be subject to criminal fines, so the federal government
might collect additional fines under the legislation. Criminal fines are recorded as revenues,
deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent without further appropriations action.
CBO expects any additional revenues and associated direct spending would not be
significant because relatively few additional cases would probably be affected by the bill.

The bill also would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to prepare an analysis of the criminal
use of remittances and develop a plan to reduce such criminal acts. Based on the cost of
similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing this provision would cost less than
$500,000; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
S. 1883 would impose a private-sector mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA) on individuals, businesses, and nonprofits. Under current law, certain
entities that physically transport, mail, or ship currency and monetary instruments valued at
$10,000 or more must file a report with Customs and Border Protection (CBP). That
requirement applies when currency and monetary instruments are moved to or from the
United States.
