What this amendment would do

Mr. Marshall and Mr. Graham submitted this amendment to be proposed to another amendment. The purpose is to change what specific actions or crimes are targeted in the text.

Changes and Additions

  • The amendment changes the text to include anyone who is charged with, is arrested for, is convicted of, admits having committed, or admits committing acts that make up the essential elements of certain crimes.

  • The specific crimes added are burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, a crime of domestic violence, or any crime that results in death or serious bodily injury to another person.

  • It redesignates paragraph (2) as paragraph (4).

  • It adds definitions for paragraph (1)(E), stating that terms like burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, and serious bodily injury mean what they do in the jurisdiction where the acts happened, and defines crime of domestic violence using section 237(a)(2)(E)(i).
