What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Strategic Task Force on Scam Prevention Act'', directs the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice to form an interagency task force. The task force is created for the specific purpose of addressing scams. It includes members from various departments and agencies such as Homeland Security, the Treasury, and the Social Security Administration. The group is charged with developing a national strategy that includes public education and coordination with industry and international partners. Additionally, the task force must submit a report on its actions to Congress and the public within one year. The task force is set to terminate 10 years after the Act is enacted.
