Specifically, such an executive officer is criminally liable for actions in which the corporation was (1) convicted or entered into a deferred or non-prosecution agreement for any crime; (2) found liable or entered into a settlement with a state or federal agency for the violation of any civil law if such a violation affects the health, safety, finances, or personal data of a certain population; or (3) convicted or found liable for a different criminal or civil violation that was committed while the corporation was acting under a judgment, agreement, or settlement. Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for violations. For a first offense, a violator is subject to a fine, a prison term of up to one year, or both. For a second or subsequent offense, a violator is subject to a fine, a prison term of up to three years, or both.
