Coordinate enforcement against EBT fraud
Schmidt cosponsored the SKIM Act, which would strengthen coordination among federal, state and local law enforcement, increase prison sentences for people using fake EBT cards, and establish best practices to identify and prevent fraud. The stated goal is to protect government benefits from criminals.
Context: The passage describes the bill as legislation he is cosponsoring; it does not say the bill became law.
