To amend title 18, United States Code, to decrease the sum of damage or attempted damage to property of the United States, and for other purposes.

On July 2, 2026, Representative Pat Fallon (R-TX) introduced HR9575, a bill to amend 18 U.S.C. § 1361 to reduce the monetary threshold for damage or attempted damage to property of the United States. The bill was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, where it remains in early-stage review. The legislative action shows no committee hearings, markup, or companion bill in the Senate. With only three actions total (all introduction logistics on the same day), legislative velocity is minimal. This bill adjusts a criminal penalty threshold — it does not authorize or appropriate any funds, create any new programs, or alter any regulatory regime. No procurement, grants, tax credits, or mandates for private-sector behavior are present. As such, the impact on any publicly traded company is nonexistent at this stage. No tickers meet the 0.65 confidence gate because the mechanism does not affect any company's revenue, costs, or competitive position. The timeline for potential movement is uncertain: the bill must clear Judiciary Committee, pass the House, clear a Senate committee, pass the Senate, and be signed by the President — a multi-year path with no guarantee of advancement.
