The Corporate Crime Database Act of 2026 mandates the Director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to establish and maintain a comprehensive, publicly accessible online database of corporate offenses . This database will collect, aggregate, and analyze information regarding enforcement actions taken by Federal agencies against business entities and individuals for violations of Federal law. The bill defines a "corporate offense" broadly to include violations by a business entity or an individual within their occupational role. "Enforcement actions" encompass a wide range of outcomes, including administrative, civil, or criminal actions, as well as declinations, settlements, deferred prosecution agreements, and non-prosecution agreements. The database will include details such as the entities and individuals involved, the type of offense, relevant statutes, the enforcing agency, and the outcome of the action, with a requirement to include historical data where available. Federal agencies will be required to submit information to the BJS according to established guidance, ensuring regular updates to the database. The BJS must publish the database within one year of enactment in a searchable and downloadable format. Additionally, the Director will submit annual reports to Congress, detailing data analysis, estimating the impact of corporate offenses on victims and the public, and offering recommendations for improving Federal agencies' ability to monitor, respond to, and deter corporate crime. The legislation also amends the responsibilities of the Chief Data Officer Council to include identifying ways Federal agencies can enhance the collection, digitalization, sharing, and standardization of corporate offense information to better implement the provisions of this Act.
