Strengthen federal enforcement against corporate crime and restore trust in the justice system.
Occurrences
announced the introduction of the Corporate Prosecution Reform Act and the Department of Justice Integrity Act, legislation to strengthen federal enforcement against corporate crime, increase transparency and accountability at the Department of Justice
Evidence
Scanlon said she introduced the Corporate Prosecution Reform Act and the Department of Justice Integrity Act to strengthen federal enforcement against corporate crime and increase DOJ transparency and accountability.
GovInfo records that Ms. Scanlon introduced H.R. 8392 and that it was referred to the House Judiciary Committee; the bill would amend criminal procedure rules governing dismissal of indictments.
Assessments
Scanlon made concrete same-term legislative efforts aligned with the promise, including introducing the Corporate Prosecution Reform Act and the Department of Justice Integrity Act/related DOJ accountability legislation to strengthen corporate-crime enforcement and justice-system trust. However, the cited federal records show introduction and committee referral only, with no enacted federal enforcement change or completed executive outcome attributable to her. Under the instruction, a serious legislative attempt that does not deliver the promised outcome is classified as never with an effort badge.
