Public corporate enforcement database and reports
This bill would require the Director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics to make a public Corporate Crime Database. Guidance for which Federal agencies must submit data would be due not later than 180 days after enactment. The database would be published on the Bureau website and be searchable and downloadable within 1 year after enactment. The database would include, for each enforcement action when information is available, the business or person identified, employers and parent companies as relevant, the type of offense and statute, the Federal agency involved, outcomes and related documents, and unique identifiers. The Director would update the database whenever agencies submit new information. The Director would also send Congress a report no later than 1 year after the database is published and annually after that. The bill would also direct the Chief Data Officer Council to identify ways to standardize how agencies collect, digitize, share, and publish this corporate-offense data.
