Bill overview
The Justice in Sentencing for Survivors Act of 2025 aims to provide greater flexibility in sentencing for individuals who are survivors of abuse, such as sexual assault, domestic violence, or trafficking. It allows judges to impose sentences below the minimum statutory guidelines when considering the impact of these experiences on the offender’s behavior. The bill also directs the Sentencing Commission to update sentencing guidelines to account for these types of abuse and offers a process for reviewing past sentences to potentially reduce them for qualifying survivors.
