The bipartisan GUARD Act would strengthen the ability of state and local law enforcement to investigate financial fraud and “pig butchering” scams targeting retirees.
Strengthen the ability of state and local law enforcement to investigate financial fraud and pig butchering scams targeting retirees.
Occurrences
Evidence
Nunn said the House Financial Services Committee advanced the GUARD Act, which would strengthen state and local law enforcement’s ability to investigate financial fraud and pig butchering scams targeting retirees, expand access to federal grant funding, and add blockchain tracing tools.
Assessments
As of June 11, 2026, Zach Nunn had materially advanced this promise by introducing and co-leading the GUARD Act and getting it approved by the House Financial Services Committee on May 13, 2026. The bill directly matches the promise because it would strengthen state and local law enforcement investigations of financial fraud and pig-butchering scams, expand grant access, and provide blockchain tracing assistance. But committee passage is not final enactment or implementation, and the available evidence says the bill was still awaiting full House consideration, so this is substantial progress rather than completed delivery.
