Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Individuals employed by business entities who are involved in corporate offenses would have their enforcement actions — including settlements and alleged violations — tracked in a permanent, publicly searchable database. This goes beyond existing criminal records by also cataloging civil and administrative actions, making it harder for individuals to move past past enforcement actions even if they were not criminally convicted.
