Harm includes financial harm over $100
What the document says“For purposes of this paragraph, a State or its residents shall be considered to have been harmed if the State or its residents experience harm, including financial harm in excess of $100.”
Each new right of action that section 3 creates carries the same rule on what counts as harm: a state or its residents are considered harmed if they experience harm, including financial harm in excess of $100. The sentence is quoted here from the new section 235(b)(3), added by subsection (a). Near-identical copies appear in the new section 236(f), section 243(e), section 212(d)(5)(C), and section 241(a)(2)(B).
What the document actually says“For purposes of this paragraph, a State or its residents shall be considered to have been harmed if the State or its residents experience harm, including financial harm in excess of $100.”
A state counts as hurt if it loses money. More than $100 is enough.
Harm is what a state must show to bring a suit. The same words show up in each new part that this section adds.
