CEO Accountability and Responsibility Act

This bill would change how much federal income tax publicly traded companies pay. The tax rate would be adjusted based on the gap between what the company’s highest‑paid employee makes and what the typical (median) worker makes. It also includes a provision creating a “preference” for companies that meet certain pay‑ratio levels.

• Who is affected: Publicly traded corporations and their employees
• What changes: Corporate income tax rates would be tied to each company’s pay ratio; there is also a preference for entities with certain pay ratios
