U.S. Sentencing Commission Seeks Comment on New Round of Proposed Amendments

Excerpt:  “Today, the bipartisan United States Sentencing Commission voted unanimously to publish two sets of proposed amendments to the federal sentencing guidelines for the amendment cycle ending May 1, 2025 (watch the meeting). Today’s proposals, along with those issued last month, stem from public input the Commission has received in recent years, including more than 1,200 pages of comments received earlier this amendment cycle. Today’s proposals further respond to roundtables the Commission held last year on supervised release and drug sentencing. The first set of proposals issued today update the Guidelines Manual’s provisions regarding supervised release. … Today’s second set of proposals update certain provisions of the Guidelines Manual related to drug trafficking.”
