S 3767 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Justice for Fallen Law Enforcement Act

This bill increases penalties for crimes against law enforcement officers. It adds a 20-year minimum prison term for causing serious injury to a federal, state, or local officer when the perpetrator uses a weapon that traveled across state lines or plans the act using interstate commerce. It also establishes a separate murder provision with similar interstate commerce requirements for sentencing. The law directly affects officers and prosecutors by creating new sentencing standards for specific violent crimes involving interstate elements. The bill requires a report to Congress within three years on prosecutions under these new provisions.
