Revisions to the Sentencing Guidelines for the United States Courts

Resumo

The Sentencing Commission hereby gives notice of several amendments to policy statements and commentary made pursuant to its authority under section 217(a) of the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 (28 U.S.C. 994(a) and (u)). The Commission has reviewed amendments submitted to Congress on May 1, 1995, that may result in a lower guideline range and has designated one such amendment for inclusion in policy statement Sec. 1B1.10 (Retroactivity of Amended Guideline Range). An earlier amendment (effective November 1, 1994) was also designated for inclusion in policy statement Sec. 1B1.10. Two amendments, previously passed by the Commission, concerning crack cocaine and money laundering were disapproved by Congress (Pub. L. 104- 38, 109 Stat. 34 (Oct. 30, 1995)).
