Key Points

Requires Congress’s yearly country-by-country drug money laundering report to include real examples of progress when info is available (like new laws, more prosecutions, and seized assets).

Creates a separate “money laundering” volume of the report and sends it to the main banking oversight committees in the House and Senate for closer review.
Tells the Treasury Secretary to work with federal bank regulators to make bank anti-money laundering exams more consistent, then report back to Congress within 180 days.
