Corporate Prosecution Reform Act

This bill changes how federal prosecutors handle crimes committed by businesses and their employees. It would require a court to approve any deferred prosecution agreement for a corporate offense, and would bar such agreements for offenses causing death or serious injury, for crimes such as terrorism or human trafficking, and for repeat offenders. It would ban agreements where the government agrees not to prosecute a corporate offense in exchange for a payment, unless a court approves the deal. It would create an Office of Corporate Enforcement in the Department of Justice to monitor these agreements and would require the Department to post agreements online and report to Congress each year.
