Bill overview
The Consensus in Sentencing Act aims to make it more difficult to change federal sentencing laws. Specifically, it requires a supermajority vote – at least 2/3 of the Senate – to amend certain sentencing guidelines. This change is intended to promote greater consensus and reduce the potential for abrupt or politically motivated adjustments to sentencing policies. The bill focuses on ensuring that significant changes to sentencing laws are supported by a broad range of senators.
