Bill overview
This bill, the Terry Technical Correction Act, aims to expand eligibility for retroactive sentencing reductions under the First Step Act of 2018 for individuals convicted of crack cocaine offenses. Following a Supreme Court ruling in 2021, low-level crack cocaine offenders who didn't trigger mandatory minimum sentences were initially excluded from these reductions. This legislation clarifies that all crack cocaine offenders convicted before the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, including those with low-level offenses, should be eligible for a review of their sentences.
