Corporate Crime Database Act of 2026

The Corporate Crime Database Act of 2026 would require the Federal Bureau of Investigation to establish and maintain a centralized database collecting information about corporate crimes and federal enforcement actions. The database would compile data from all federal agencies that conduct enforcement actions against businesses for violations of law, including criminal prosecutions, civil cases, settlements, and deferred prosecution agreements. The collected information would be made publicly searchable and downloadable online, allowing citizens, researchers, and policymakers to access details about corporate offenses and how they were handled. The bill would require the FBI Director to update the database regularly and submit annual reports to Congress analyzing trends in corporate crime, recidivism rates, and recommending improvements to how federal agencies monitor and respond to corporate violations. If enacted, this would create the first comprehensive public record of corporate criminal enforcement across the federal government, making it easier to track patterns of corporate wrongdoing and identify which companies have faced multiple enforcement actions.
