The Stop Auto Fraud Act of 2026 was introduced in the House of Representatives by four lawmakers, including Laura Gillen and Josh Gottheimer. The bill targets nationwide schemes where individuals fabricate car accidents to obtain large insurance payouts. Convictions could result in up to 10 years in prison, with penalties rising to life imprisonment for crashes resulting in fatalities.
