TITLE <> III--INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING ABATEMENT AND ANTI-TERRORIST FINANCING ACT OF 2001

SEC. 301. <> SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ``International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001.

SEC. 302. <<NOTE: 31 USC 5311 note.>> FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that-- (1) money laundering, estimated by the International Monetary Fund to amount to between 2 and 5 percent of global gross domestic product, which is at least $600,000,000,000 annually, provides the financial fuel that permits transnational criminal enterprises to conduct and expand their operations to        the detriment of the safety and security of American citizens; (2) money laundering, and the defects in financial transparency on which money launderers rely, are critical to the financing of global terrorism and the provision of funds for terrorist attacks; (3) money launderers subvert legitimate financial mechanisms and banking relationships by using them as protective covering for the movement of criminal proceeds and the financing of crime and terrorism, and, by so doing, can threaten the safety of        United States citizens and undermine the integrity of United States financial institutions and of the global financial and trading systems upon which prosperity and growth depend; (4) certain jurisdictions outside of the United States that offer ``offshore banking and related facilities designed to  provide anonymity, coupled with weak financial supervisory and enforcement regimes, provide essential tools to disguise ownership and movement of criminal funds, derived from, or used to commit, offenses ranging from narcotics trafficking, terrorism, arms smuggling, and trafficking in human beings, to        financial frauds that prey on law-abiding citizens; (5) transactions involving such offshore jurisdictions make it difficult for law enforcement officials and regulators to        follow the trail of money earned by criminals, organized international criminal enterprises, and global terrorist organizations; (6) correspondent banking facilities are one of the banking mechanisms susceptible in some circumstances to manipulation by        foreign banks to permit the laundering of funds by hiding the identity of real parties in interest to financial transactions; (7) private banking services can be susceptible to        manipulation by money launderers, for example corrupt foreign government officials, particularly if those services include the creation of offshore accounts and facilities for large personal funds transfers to channel funds into accounts around the globe;

Page 115 STAT. 297

(8) United States anti-money laundering efforts are impeded by outmoded and inadequate statutory provisions that make investigations, prosecutions, and forfeitures more difficult, particularly in cases in which money laundering involves foreign persons, foreign banks, or foreign countries; (9) the ability to mount effective counter-measures to        international money launderers requires national, as well as         bilateral and multilateral action, using tools specially designed for that effort; and (10) the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices and the Financial Action Task Force on        Money Laundering, of both of which the United States is a         member, have each adopted international anti-money laundering principles and recommendations.

(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are-- (1) to increase the strength of United States measures to        prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism; (2) to ensure that-- (A) banking transactions and financial relationships and the conduct of such transactions and relationships, do not contravene the purposes of subchapter II of                chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, section 21 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or chapter 2 of                title I of Public Law 91-508 (84 Stat. 1116), or                 facilitate the evasion of any such provision; and (B) the purposes of such provisions of law continue to be fulfilled, and such provisions of law are effectively and efficiently administered; (3) to strengthen the provisions put into place by the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. 981 note), especially with respect to crimes by non-United States nationals and foreign financial institutions; (4) to provide a clear national mandate for subjecting to        special scrutiny those foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside of the United States, and classes of international transactions or types of accounts that pose particular, identifiable opportunities for criminal abuse; (5) to provide the Secretary of the Treasury (in this title        referred to as the ``Secretary) with broad discretion, subject  to the safeguards provided by the Administrative Procedure Act under title 5, United States Code, to take measures tailored to        the particular money laundering problems presented by specific foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside of the United States, and classes of international transactions or types of accounts; (6) to ensure that the employment of such measures by the Secretary permits appropriate opportunity for comment by        affected financial institutions; (7) to provide guidance to domestic financial institutions on particular foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside of the United States, and classes of        international transactions that are of primary money laundering concern to the United States Government; (8) to ensure that the forfeiture of any assets in        connection with the anti-terrorist efforts of the United States permits

Page 115 STAT. 298

for adequate challenge consistent with providing due process rights; (9) to clarify the terms of the safe harbor from civil liability for filing suspicious activity reports; (10) to strengthen the authority of the Secretary to issue and administer geographic targeting orders, and to clarify that violations of such orders or any other requirement imposed under the authority contained in chapter 2 of title I of Public Law 91-508 and subchapters II and III of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, may result in criminal and civil penalties; (11) to ensure that all appropriate elements of the financial services industry are subject to appropriate requirements to report potential money laundering transactions to proper authorities, and that jurisdictional disputes do not hinder examination of compliance by financial institutions with relevant reporting requirements; (12) to strengthen the ability of financial institutions to        maintain the integrity of their employee population; and (13) to strengthen measures to prevent the use of the United States financial system for personal gain by corrupt foreign officials and to facilitate the repatriation of any stolen assets to the citizens of countries to whom such assets belong.

SEC. 303. <<NOTE: 31 USC 5311 note.>> 4-YEAR CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW; EXPEDITED CONSIDERATION.

(a) In General.--Effective <<NOTE: Effective date.>> on and after the first day of fiscal year 2005, the provisions of this title and the amendments made by this title shall terminate if the Congress enacts a joint resolution, the text after the resolving clause of which is as follows: ``That provisions of the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, and the amendments made thereby, shall no longer have the force of law..

In particular, it shall be considered in the Senate in accordance with the provisions of section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Control Act of 1976.

SEC. 366. <<NOTE: 31 USC 5313 note.>> EFFICIENT USE OF CURRENCY TRANSACTION REPORT SYSTEM.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following: (1) The Congress established the currency transaction reporting requirements in 1970 because the Congress found then that such reports have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, and regulatory investigations and proceedings and the usefulness of such reports has only increased in the years since the requirements were established. (2) In 1994, in response to reports and testimony that excess amounts of currency transaction reports were interfering

Page 115 STAT. 336

with effective law enforcement, the Congress reformed the currency transaction report exemption requirements to provide-- (A) mandatory exemptions for certain reports that had little usefulness for law enforcement, such as cash transfers between depository institutions and cash deposits from government agencies; and (B) discretionary authority for the Secretary of the Treasury to provide exemptions, subject to criteria and guidelines established by the Secretary, for financial institutions with regard to regular business customers that maintain accounts at an institution into which frequent cash deposits are made. (3) Today there is evidence that some financial institutions are not utilizing the exemption system, or are filing reports even if there is an exemption in effect, with the result that the volume of currency transaction reports is once again interfering with effective law enforcement.

(b) Study and Report.-- (1) Study required.--The Secretary shall conduct a study of-- (A) the possible expansion of the statutory exemption system in effect under section 5313 of title 31, United States Code; and (B) methods for improving financial institution utilization of the statutory exemption provisions as a                way of reducing the submission of currency transaction reports that have little or no value for law enforcement purposes, including improvements in the systems in                effect at financial institutions for regular review of                 the exemption procedures used at the institution and the training of personnel in its effective use. (2) Report required.--The Secretary of the Treasury shall submit a report to the Congress before the end of the 1-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act containing the findings and conclusions of the Secretary with regard to the study required under subsection (a), and such recommendations for legislative or administrative action as the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

Subtitle C--Currency Crimes and Protection

SEC. 371. BULK CASH SMUGGLING INTO OR OUT OF THE UNITED STATES.

(a) Findings.--The <<NOTE: 31 USC 5332 note.>> Congress finds the following: (1) Effective enforcement of the currency reporting requirements of subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, and the regulations prescribed under such subchapter, has forced drug dealers and other criminals engaged in cash-based businesses to avoid using traditional financial institutions. (2) In their effort to avoid using traditional financial institutions, drug dealers and other criminals are forced to        move large quantities of currency in bulk form to and through the airports, border crossings, and other ports of entry where the currency can be smuggled out of the United States and

Page 115 STAT. 337

placed in a foreign financial institution or sold on the black market. (3) The transportation and smuggling of cash in bulk form may now be the most common form of money laundering, and the movement of large sums of cash is one of the most reliable warning signs of drug trafficking, terrorism, money laundering, racketeering, tax evasion and similar crimes. (4) The intentional transportation into or out of the United States of large amounts of currency or monetary instruments, in        a manner designed to circumvent the mandatory reporting provisions of subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code,, is the equivalent of, and creates the same harm as, the smuggling of goods. (5) The arrest and prosecution of bulk cash smugglers are important parts of law enforcement's effort to stop the laundering of criminal proceeds, but the couriers who attempt to        smuggle the cash out of the United States are typically low- level employees of large criminal organizations, and thus are easily replaced. Accordingly, only the confiscation of the smuggled bulk cash can effectively break the cycle of criminal activity of which the laundering of the bulk cash is a critical part. (6) The current penalties for violations of the currency reporting requirements are insufficient to provide a deterrent to the laundering of criminal proceeds. In particular, in cases where the only criminal violation under current law is a        reporting offense, the law does not adequately provide for the confiscation of smuggled currency. In contrast, if the smuggling of bulk cash were itself an offense, the cash could be        confiscated as the corpus delicti of the smuggling offense.

(b) Purposes.--The <<NOTE: 31 USC 5332 note.>> purposes of this section are-- (1) to make the act of smuggling bulk cash itself a criminal offense; (2) to authorize forfeiture of any cash or instruments of        the smuggling offense; and (3) to emphasize the seriousness of the act of bulk cash smuggling.

(c) Enactment of Bulk Cash Smuggling Offense.--Subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
