What's in it

See official bill text

Costs $2 million over 5 years (2025-2029).

The $2 million is the federal cost to run a pilot program and conduct studies on AI and blockchain for consumer protection — the real-world impact depends on whether Congress later uses these findings to change consumer protection rules.
