Bill > HR393

This bill, titled the "No Repeat Child Sex Offenders Act," aims to significantly increase criminal penalties for various child sexual abuse and trafficking offenses by modifying existing federal law. The bill systematically amends multiple sections of Title 18 of the United States Code to replace current sentencing provisions with more severe punishments, primarily focusing on replacing existing imprisonment terms with potential death sentences or life imprisonment. Specifically, the bill enhances penalties for offenses including sex trafficking, transportation of minors, child exploitation, selling children, and various forms of sexual abuse involving minors. For many offenses previously punishable by fixed-term imprisonments ranging from 10 to 30 years, the bill now allows for either the death penalty or life imprisonment. The legislation targets repeat offenders and those committing sexual crimes against children, aiming to provide more stringent legal consequences that reflect the severity of these crimes. By expanding potential maximum sentences and introducing the possibility of capital punishment for certain offenses, the bill seeks to create a stronger legal deterrent against child sexual abuse and trafficking, and to ensure more substantial punishment for individuals who commit these heinous crimes.
