Transparency & AccountabilityCivil LibertiesFederal cases against companies would go into one public, searchable online database — names, laws involved, and outcomes.
Transparency & Accountability
The Justice Department's data office would post a searchable, downloadable list of federal cases against businesses. Each entry would show the company, its parent company, the law involved, the agency, and the outcome.
Civil Liberties
Workers named in a case over something done on the job would be listed by name, too. That includes alleged violations, settlements, and cases the government decided not to bring.
More about this bill
You could look up a company's record of federal cases in one public place. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (the Justice Department's data office) would build this online list. It would have to go online within one year after the bill becomes law. People could search the database and download its data. The list would cover finished cases of every kind, from agency actions to criminal cases. It would also list settlements, decisions not to bring a case, and deals that put off or drop charges. Cases against workers for things done on the job would count too. So would cases where the wrong is only claimed. Each entry would name the company or person, the parent company, and the law involved. It would show which agency brought the case and how it ended, with the papers to back it up. Older cases would be added when the records exist. Federal agencies would have to send their case data to the bureau. The bureau would report to Congress each year on repeat offenses and the harm to victims. A group of federal data officials would look for ways to make this data easier to gather and share.
