The new penalties, effective from January 15, 2021, to January 14, 2022, range from a minimum of $20,731 to a maximum of $207,314. The adjustments ensure that the penalty amounts keep pace with inflation, as mandated by the 2015 Act.

    The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) makes some fines bigger every year to keep up with money changes over time, just like how candy costs more now than it did in the past. If someone breaks their new rules about not spending money to try to change laws, they might have to pay a fine between about $21,000 and $207,000.
