Requires courts to approve corporate crime deals, boosting transparency and victim rights.
This bill would make it tougher for companies to avoid full prosecution for corporate crimes by requiring court approval for certain deals. It would also create a new office to oversee these agreements and make details about them public. This means more transparency for the public and stronger rights for victims.
Today, deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) for corporate crimes might not need court approval, and non-prosecution agreements (NPAs) can be made in exchange for money without specific court oversight. Information about these deals is not always public. If this bill passes, judges would have to approve DPAs for corporate offenses, and NPAs for money would generally be banned without court approval. A new Office of Corporate Enforcement would monitor these agreements, and the public would be able to see details of all new and many past agreements online within 30 days to three years.
