The bill would likely affect federal defendants, judges, and potentially federal sentencing guidelines. The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full House vote.
Without access to the bill's detailed text, it's unclear what specific sentencing reforms it proposes or which crimes or circumstances it targets.
