Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit chief executive officers convicted of covered crimes from serving in the executive branch, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "No Corporate Crooks Act," aims to prevent chief executive officers (CEOs) who have been convicted of certain serious crimes from serving in any executive branch position. Specifically, the bill defines a list of "covered crimes" that would disqualify a CEO from future executive branch employment, including bribery, copyright infringement, corruption, cybercrime, embezzlement, fraud, insider trading, wage theft, and tax evasion. If an individual who has served as a CEO is convicted of any of these crimes, they would become permanently ineligible for appointment to an executive branch position. Furthermore, if such an individual is already serving in the executive branch and is found to have a prior conviction for a covered crime, they would be immediately removed from their position. The bill's purpose appears to be enhancing ethical standards and preventing individuals with a history of serious corporate misconduct from holding high-level government positions.
