Count the Crimes to Cut Act
S 3868, the Count the Crimes to Cut Act, requires the Attorney General and specific federal agencies to compile detailed reports on federal criminal offenses. The bill mandates that agencies submit lists of all criminal statutory offenses (under federal law) and criminal regulatory offenses (enforceable via regulations), including their penalties, annual prosecution numbers over 15 years, and mental state requirements. These reports will be made publicly accessible via online indexes on government websites within two years. The bill directly affects agencies like the DOJ, EPA, FTC, and others listed, aiming to increase transparency about the scope of federal criminal law without changing existing penalties or enforcement.
