Protect Your PIN Act of 2025
This bill amends the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 to clarify and expand law enforcement support for identity theft cases. It defines "identity theft" as criminal acts involving unauthorized use of another person's identifying details (like Social Security numbers or bank info), and adds "identity theft" to existing federal grant programs for local police to investigate cybercrimes. These grants will now fund investigations into identity theft alongside other cybercrimes. The bill directly affects local law enforcement agencies receiving these grants and victims of identity theft by improving enforcement resources. (Note: The title "Protect Your PIN" is misleading; the bill focuses on identity theft definitions and funding, not PIN security.)
