Where it stands

floor_pending

Your representatives are deciding where they stand. A few messages can tip the balance.

What this bill actually does

The bill tells the U.S. Sentencing Commission to rewrite sentencing guidelines for several federal child exploitation crimes. It does this under the Commission's legal power in 28 U.S.C. 994(p) and covers crimes in 18 U.S.C. §§ 1466A, 2251(d)(1)(A), 2252, 2252A, and 2260(b).
The new guidelines must reflect how these crimes now happen online. That includes use of computers and the internet, and taking part in groups focused on child sexual abuse material or other abuse of children.
The Commission must weigh signs that a case was more serious or more harmful. Those signs include repeat conduct, hiding identity or evidence, using several online platforms, the number of victims or files, and whether the crime helped lead to a victim's suicide.
