HR 6479 United States House · 118th Congress

To limit the availability of a plea deal for any person responsible for the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

HR 6479 prohibits plea deals for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other individuals directly responsible for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that would avoid a public trial or a death penalty sentence. The bill requires the Attorney General to refuse any such plea agreement, ensuring these defendants cannot secure a resolution that skips a public trial or capital punishment. It directly affects only the 9/11 case defendants named in the legislation. The measure mandates that all legal proceedings for these individuals must proceed to trial or result in a death sentence.
