The Corporate Crime Database Act of 2023 directs the Bureau of Justice Statistics to create a publicly accessible database tracking federal enforcement actions against corporations and their employees for violating federal laws. The database will compile information on corporate offenses, the businesses involved, the violations committed, the federal agencies taking action, and the outcomes of those enforcement actions, including settlements and agreements. Federal agencies will be required to submit enforcement data to the Bureau following guidance established within 180 days of the law's enactment, with the completed database to be published within one year in a searchable, downloadable format. The Bureau must update the database regularly as new enforcement information is collected and submit annual reports to Congress analyzing corporate crime trends, victim impacts, and recommendations for improving federal monitoring and deterrence of corporate offenses. This legislation affects all federal agencies that enforce laws against corporate misconduct and provides the public with transparency about corporate enforcement actions.
