Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Corporate Crime Database Act directs the Bureau of Justice Statistics to create a public, searchable database tracking federal enforcement actions against corporations and their employees for violations of federal law. The database must be established within one year of the law's enactment and will include details about the companies involved, the specific offenses charged, statutes violated, the federal agencies involved, and the outcomes of enforcement actions. Federal agencies will be required to submit information about their enforcement actions according to guidance established within six months, and the database will eventually include historical enforcement data going back before the law's passage. The Director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics must publish annual reports analyzing corporate crime patterns, recidivism rates, and victim impacts, along with recommendations for improving how federal agencies monitor and deter corporate offenses.
