HR 50 United States House · 118th Congress

Terry Technical Correction Act

This bill updates the definition of "covered offense" under the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 to include specific drug-related violations involving cocaine base. It directly affects individuals convicted under certain sections of the Controlled Substances Act and related laws (like 21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)(C) or 846) who may now qualify for sentencing adjustments previously available only for other offenses. The key change clarifies that motions challenging sentencing based on this updated definition cannot be treated as denials after a full merits review, ensuring proper legal consideration.
