This legislation is intended to prevent CEOs from committing crimes while holding a position of power, retiring, and reaping significant benefits associated with their time in that job.  It's a basic issue of fairness.

Would you think it wise, perhaps, to specify the crimes in nature should be felonious in their severity so as to avoid dropping the hammer on those whose acts have little if any tangible impact on the lives of others, or do you reckon the present language is proper? Also, if I may kindly ask, shouldn't we distinguish between the CEOs of business that are very small, large, and so on since possessing that executive position in and of itself does not necessarily imply that one's benefits are going to be lavish or even generous to any controversial degree? I'd certainly like to voice my support for the underlying spirit of this bill, but there might still be a handful of kinks to deal with before this is ready for a final vote further down the line. Yeah?

The Judiciary Committee has a significantly revised version, which I would happily accept as an amendment if the Committee introduces it.

Judiciary Committee Recommendations:

By a vote of 2-1, the Committee abstains on endorsing the legislation in its current form

By a vote of 3-0, the Committee recommends that Senator TJ's amendment be added to the bill.



On behalf of the committee, I will introduce TJ's amendment.
