Fair Sentencing Act

This bill prohibits federal judges from considering a defendant's "perceived gender identity" as a factor in sentencing decisions. It amends Title 18 of the U.S. Code (specifically Section 3553(a)) to add a new provision stating courts "shall not consider the perceived gender identity of the defendant as a mitigating factor." The bill also defines "perceived gender identity" and requires the U.S. Sentencing Commission to update guidelines within 30 days of enactment to reflect this change. It directly affects federal sentencing judges and defendants in criminal cases.
