What this amendment would do

Here is what Mr. Murphy's amendment is all about in plain English. We need to keep our elected officials accountable, and looking at the exact text, here is what this change aims to do to the bill:

Exempts Young Children: The amendment adds a rule stating that the mandatory detention requirement for certain individuals charged with theft does not apply to children who are younger than 14 years of age.
Protects Existing Agreements: It adds a special rule ensuring that nothing in the Act or its amendments can change, overrule, or modify the 1997 Flores Settlement Agreement or later court decisions related to it.
