Key points
The Department of Justice will compile a list of all federal statutory offenses, including penalties and prosecution history.
Federal agencies like the EPA and SEC will prepare similar lists for offenses arising from their own regulations.
All this information will be made available in public, searchable online databases, making it easier for citizens to understand the law.
