The bill would require recipients of executive clemency who provide covered benefits worth at least $10,000 to specified recipients during a defined disclosure period to file reports with the Attorney General within 90 days and annually for four years; the reports would be publicly posted. It would authorize civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation and criminal penalties of up to five years’ imprisonment for certain violations, and would amend federal bribery law to expressly cover executive clemency and establish a 10-year prosecution period for related offenses.
