Higher corporate fines for crimes

The law raises the maximum fines on corporations. Felonies: up to $80,000, or $500,000 in specific corporate-liability cases. Class A misdemeanors or similar: up to $40,000, or $300,000 in those cases. Class B misdemeanors or similar: up to $15,000; violations: up to $4,000. Courts can also fine up to three times the corporation’s gain from the crime. For article 496 crimes, that gain-based fine can exceed the fixed caps but cannot exceed three times the gain. The law takes effect immediately.
