Bill overview
This bill, the Restoring the Armed Career Criminal Act, aims to change how the law treats individuals convicted of firearms offenses after multiple prior serious felonies. Specifically, it modifies existing sentencing guidelines to increase the potential prison sentence for those who commit firearms offenses after having three or more serious felony convictions. The changes clarify the definition of ‘serious felony conviction’ and establish a minimum 15-year prison sentence for such offenders. This legislation seeks to strengthen penalties for repeat offenders involved in firearms crimes.
