S 3887 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Stop Pro-Terrorist Riots Now Act

This bill amends Section 2101 of Title 18, U.S. Code, which addresses riot offenses. It increases the maximum penalty for certain riot-related violence from five to ten years in prison and clarifies that individuals who commit acts of violence or aid others in doing so during such activities face the higher sentence. The changes specifically adjust sentencing language in subsections (a) and (b) of the existing law, focusing on cases involving violence during riots. The bill directly affects individuals convicted under these riot statutes who engaged in violent conduct. It does not create new offenses but modifies penalties for existing violations involving violence.
