FASTER Act of 2017
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Sep 12, 2017
Freezing Assets of Suspected Terrorists and Enemy Recruits Act of 2017 or the FASTER Act of 2017
This bill directs a federal law enforcement agency to notify the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in the Department of the Treasury of an arrest of an individual under suspicion of participating in domestic terrorism or providing material support for terrorism. FinCEN must then order any appropriate financial institution to freeze that individual's assets.
The bill also sets forth provisions for contesting a freeze, unfreezing assets, and disposing of assets in the event of a conviction.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation must establish a national clearinghouse of incidents of homegrown "lone wolf" terrorism, domestic terrorism, and the provision of material support to terrorists. The clearinghouse must maintain information for purposes of cross-referencing and assisting investigations of law enforcement agencies.
