Bill > HR1950

This bill, known as Sara's Law, allows courts to impose a sentence below the mandatory minimum for a juvenile who was convicted of a violent offense against a person who engaged in certain conduct (such as trafficking, abuse, or assault) against the juvenile. The bill also gives courts the authority to suspend any portion of an imposed sentence under these circumstances. The United States Sentencing Commission is directed to review and amend its guidelines and policy statements to ensure consistency with the amendments made by the bill.
