Bill overview
The Terry Technical Correction Act amends the First Step Act to expand eligibility for retroactive sentencing reductions for crack cocaine offenses. Following a Supreme Court decision, low-level crack cocaine offenders who did not trigger a mandatory minimum sentence were previously ineligible. This bill clarifies that all crack cocaine offenders convicted and sentenced before the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, including those with low-level offenses, are now eligible for these reductions under the First Step Act. It specifically broadens the definition of ‘offense’ to include various crack cocaine-related violations.
