Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to revise recidivist penalty provisions for child sexual exploitation offenses to uniformly account for prior military convictions, thereby ensuring parity among Federal, State, and military convictions, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill changes how federal judges count prior convictions when sentencing someone for child sexual exploitation crimes. Currently, military convictions may not be treated the same way as federal or state convictions when determining repeat-offender penalties. The bill would require judges to count prior military convictions equally with other convictions. This ensures the same sentencing rules apply regardless of where someone was previously convicted. The bill has been introduced in Congress and is awaiting review.
