The bill would require recipients of executive clemency who provide covered benefits worth at least $10,000 to specified recipients during the disclosure period to file reports with the Attorney General. Reports would be due within 90 days of clemency and annually for four years, with public posting by the Department of Justice; violations could result in civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation, criminal penalties, or both. The bill would also amend the federal bribery statute to expressly include executive clemency as something of value and establish a 10-year prosecution period for related bribery offenses.
