Bill > S2250

This bill, titled the "Restoring the Armed Career Criminal Act," amends the sentencing guidelines for individuals who repeatedly commit serious felony offenses and violate firearm regulations. Specifically, the bill modifies section 924 of title 18 in the United States Code to establish stricter penalties for repeat offenders. Under the new provisions, an individual who knowingly violates section 922(g) of the law (which typically relates to firearm possession by prohibited persons, such as felons) and has three or more previous serious felony convictions will face a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years. The bill also expands the definition of "serious felony conviction" to include offenses punishable by at least 10 years in prison, either as a single offense or as a combination of convictions resulting in a total imprisonment term of 10 years or more. The amendments will apply to offenses committed after the bill's enactment by individuals with three or more qualifying previous convictions, and the bill explicitly states that it does not create any right to challenge sentences imposed under these new guidelines.
