American Workforce Improvement and Jobs Protection Act - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt up to 20,000 aliens holding a master's or higher degree from the numerical limitation on H-1B (temporary employment in a specialty occupation) nonimmigrants in any fiscal year.

Makes permanent: (1) the attestation requirement concerning nondisplacement of U.S. workers applicable to H-1B-dependent employers and willful violators; (2) the filing fee applicable to H-1B petitioners; and (3) the Secretary of Labor's authority under the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act to investigate an employer's alleged failure to meet specified labor attestation conditions (by repealing a sunset provision in that Act).

Requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to impose a fraud prevention and detection fee on H-1B or L (intracompany business personnel) petitioners for use in combating fraud and carrying out labor attestation enforcement activities. Establishes an H-1B and L Fraud Prevention and Detection Account for the deposit of such fees.

Renders ineligible for L visa status those aliens who will serve in a capacity involving specialized knowledge at the worksite of an employer other than the petitioning employer or its affiliate if: (1) the alien will be controlled principally by the unaffiliated employer; or (2) the placement with the unaffiliated employer is part of an arrangement merely to provide labor rather than to use the alien's specialized knowledge.

Eliminates the current reduction in the continuous employment requirement for aliens seeking L visa status pursuant to an employer's blanket petition.

Requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to maintain statistics regarding L visa petitions.

better track cross-border fund transfers and identify potential 
financing of terror or other illicit finance, the Secretary of the 
Treasury shall carry out a study to assess--
            (1) the potential efficacy of requiring banking regulators 
        to establish a pilot program to provide technical assistance to 
        depository institutions and credit unions that wish to provide 
        account services to money services businesses serving 
        individuals in Somalia;
            (2) whether such a pilot program could be a model for 
        improving the ability of Americans to legitimately send funds 
        to their loved ones through transparent and easily monitored 
        channels; and
            (3) the potential impact of allowing money services 
        businesses to share their State examinations with depository 
        institutions and credit unions, or if another mechanism could 
        be found to allow a similar exchange of information that would 
        give such depository institutions and credit unions a better 
        understanding of whether an individual money services business 
        is adequately meeting its anti-money laundering and counter 
        terror financing obligations to combat money laundering, the 
        financing of terror, or related illicit finance.
    (b) Report.--Within 270 days of the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall issue a report to the 
Committees on Financial Services and Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives and the Committees on Banking, Housing, and Urban 
Affairs and Foreign Relations of the Senate containing all findings and 
determinations made in carrying out the study required under subsection 
(a).
    (c) Money Services Business Defined.--For purposes of this section, 
the term ``money services business'' has the meaning given that term 
under section 1010.100 of title 31, Code of Federal Regulations.

SEC. 6. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of the Congress that the Secretary of the Treasury, 
acting in the Secretary's own capacity and through the Under Secretary 
for Terrorism and Financial Crimes, should work with finance ministry 
counterparts worldwide to spur the development within such ministries 
of entities similar to the Department of the Treasury's Office of 
Intelligence and Analysis to more solidly integrate the intelligence 
community with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing 
efforts.

            Passed the House of Representatives July 11, 2016.

            Attest:

                                                 KAREN L. HAAS,

                                                                 Clerk.

Enhancing Treasury's Anti-Terror Tools Act  (Sec. 2) This bill instructs the Department of the Treasury to report to Congress on the employment by U.S. embassies of full-time and temporary Treasury attaches and their role in advancing U.S. anti-terrorism financing interests, including concerning:    how Treasury's interests relating to anti-terror finance, money laundering, and related illicit finance issues are handled at other embassies;  issues identified by Treasury attaches concerning anti-terror finance, money laundering, and related illicit finance;   recommendations to improve coordination between Treasury and foreign financial ministries of efforts to block the financing of terror, money laundering, and related illicit finance; and   whether Treasury's interests relating to anti-terror finance, money laundering, or related illicit finance issues are thought to be underrepresented in some embassies or regions.  (Sec. 3) The bill revises Treasury's authority to issue an order imposing recordkeeping and reporting requirements upon financial institutions and nonfinancial trade or business groups in certain geographic areas regarding transactions for the payment, receipt, or transfer of U.S. coins or currency (or other monetary instruments as Treasury may describe). Such an order may include all funds, not just U.S. coins or currency, involved in such transactions.  (Sec. 4) Treasury shall study:  the advisability and implications of transforming the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence into a stand-alone bureau of Treasury, the potential efficacy of requiring banking regulators to establish a pilot technical assistance program for depository institutions and credit unions that furnish account services to money services businesses serving individuals in Somalia and whether it could improve the ability of Americans to legitimately send funds through transparent and easily monitored channels, and the potential impact of allowing money services businesses to share their state examinations with depository institutions and credit unions.   (Sec. 6) The bill expresses the sense of Congress that Treasury should work with finance ministry counterparts worldwide to spur the development of entities similar to its Office of Intelligence and Analysis to integrate the intelligence community with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing efforts.
