Restoring the Armed Career Criminal Act
This bill amends the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA) to reinstate stricter sentencing requirements for individuals with prior serious felony convictions. It mandates a minimum 15-year prison sentence (with no probation or suspended sentence) for anyone convicted under Section 922(g) who has three or more prior serious felony convictions, where each conviction was for an offense punishable by at least 10 years in prison under the statute. The bill defines "serious felony conviction" to include any offense with a statutory maximum sentence of 10+ years (regardless of actual sentencing guidelines) or consolidated convictions totaling 10+ years in a single proceeding. This applies only to offenses committed after the bill's enactment and affects individuals with three prior qualifying felony convictions who possess firearms.
