Department of Justice Integrity Act of 2026

This bill would add a new rule to federal criminal law about what former federal prosecutors can do after leaving government service. A former attorney for the United States who personally and substantially worked on a federal prosecution of a business, or on a deferred prosecution agreement with a business, could not represent, aid, or assist a business in a federal prosecution or such an agreement for 1 year after leaving that job. Breaking this rule would be punished under existing federal penalties for ethics violations. The bill defines a business entity to include corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations, and other commercial entities.
