No Corporate Crooks Act
Latest action (23 Jul 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
The No Corporate Crooks Act (S. 5107), introduced by Sen. Adam Schiff, would bar certain individuals from serving in positions within the federal executive branch based on past criminal conduct. Specifically, it applies to anyone finally convicted of a "covered crime"—including offenses such as bribery, fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, cybercrime, wage theft, tax evasion, copyright infringement, or comparable state-law offenses—if any part of that conduct occurred while the person was serving as chief executive officer of any public or private entity outside the federal government. The conduct need not have been part of the person's official CEO duties.
The bill would affect former corporate CEOs who have been convicted of these specified crimes and who seek, or currently hold, executive branch positions. Anyone already serving in the executive branch on the date of enactment who would be ineligible under this standard would be removed from federal service.
The bill was introduced on July 23, 2026, and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. It has not yet been considered or voted on by that committee or the full Senate, and would need to pass both chambers of Congress and be signed by the President to become law.
