Patriot Act Searches
The USA PATRIOT Act, commonly known as the ‘Patriot’ Act, is an Act of Congress that United States President George W. Bush signed into law on October 26, 2001. The acronym stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001” (Public Law Pub.L. 107-56).
Federal law stipulates that individuals and organizations within the Untied States are responsible for ensuring that they do not engage in business dealings with an individual or entity listed on the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and Blocked Persons List.
While the Patriot Act is Federal law, some states also have more restrictive requirements for certain types of businesses. Some industries, including financial services, import /export and travel, have additional requirements.
