S 1771 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Larry Henderson Act

This bill amends federal law to mandate a minimum 20-year prison sentence for anyone who assaults, resists, or impedes a U.S. federal officer or employee while they are performing official duties, causing any bodily harm. It directly affects individuals convicted of such assaults on federal personnel, replacing previous sentencing options with this fixed minimum term. Key provisions include making federal law exclusively applicable to these offenses and overriding any conflicting state laws that might govern similar acts. The bill applies to offenses occurring after its enactment date.
