What it does
The bill tells four government offices to give Congress records about Epstein and people tied to him. They must do this within 90 days. Then they must release those records to the public within 120 days. They must hide the names of victims. The offices must check whether banks broke the law by working with Epstein. If they find wrongdoing, they can ban people from banking work and fine them. They must also tell the Attorney General about possible crimes.
Who it affects
The public gets to see how banks handled Epstein's money. The public learns whether government offices caught the problem. Bank workers who broke the law face fines and bans.
One thing to notice
The bill makes government offices share records they normally keep secret and punish bank workers for wrongdoing.
