What it does
The Stop Auto Fraud Act of 2026 would create a new federal criminal offense for knowingly staging or fabricating a motor vehicle accident and submitting a false insurance claim for related losses such as medical treatment, repair costs, lost wages, or benefits. Violators could face fines, up to 10 years in prison, or both, with increased penalties of up to 20 years if serious bodily injury results, or life imprisonment if death occurs. Fines collected under this provision would be deposited into the Highway Trust Fund. The bill amends Title 18 of the U.S. Code and was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
