Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The evidence shows Mary Gay Scanlon introduced the Corporate Prosecution Reform Act and that the bill text includes the specific reforms named in the promise: limiting DPAs for serious or repeat offenses, requiring judicial review, prohibiting NPAs, increasing transparency, creating an Office of Corporate Enforcement, and setting DOJ guidance and reporting rules. That demonstrates a serious legislative effort directly aligned with the promise. However, the record provided does not show enactment into law or implementation by DOJ, so the promised reform outcome was not fully delivered. Under the scoring rule, because she made a serious attempt but did not achieve the outcome, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
