H.R. 2481

Romance Scam Prevention Act

Energy and Commerce Committee · Rep. David Valadao (R-CA)

14 October 2026  |  Presented to President

What's next: President has 10 days (Sundays excepted): sign, veto, or it becomes law unsigned (pocket veto if adjournment prevents return)

Summary: The bill would require online dating service providers to notify users if they've received messages from someone banned for fraud, warning them about the risks of romance scams and providing guidance on how to avoid sending money or personal information to scammers. The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general would enforce these requirements.
