Bill Summary
A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the consideration of acquitted conduct at sentencing.
AI Summary
This bill, by amending Title 18 of the United States Code, aims to prevent judges from considering "acquitted conduct" when determining a person's sentence. Acquitted conduct is defined as any act for which a person was charged and found not guilty after a trial in federal, state, or tribal court, or for which a juvenile was found not responsible in a juvenile adjudication hearing. It also includes acts underlying criminal charges or juvenile information that were dismissed, such as through a motion for acquittal. The bill specifies that this prohibition applies only to sentences handed down after the law is enacted, and it allows acquitted conduct to be considered only for the purpose of reducing a sentence, not increasing it.
