from the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund.
    (e) Distribution of Funds in Fiscal Year 1995.--Of the total amount 
of funds appropriated under this title in fiscal year 1995, there shall

Seventy-five percent of the total amount of funds appropriated under 
this title in fiscal years 1996, 1997, and 1998, shall be allocated to

        convicted of violent crimes to serve not less than 85 percent 
        of the sentence imposed;
            (2) mandatory prison sentences for persons convicted of the

        be released; or
            (5) that a person who is convicted of a serious violent

                    (B) Return of verification form.--
                            (i) In general.--The person shall return, 
                        by mail, the verification form to the agency 
                        not later than 10 days after the receipt of the 
                        form. The verification form shall be signed by 
                        the person, and shall state that the person 
                        continues to reside at the address last 
                        reported to the designated State law 
                        enforcement agency.
                            (ii) Failure to return.--If the person 
                        fails to mail the verification form to the 
                        designated State law enforcement agency by the 
                        date that is 10 days after the receipt of the 
                        form by the person, the person shall be in 
                        violation of this section unless the person 
                        proves that the person has not changed the 
                        residence address of the person.
            (6) Notification of local law enforcement agencies of 
        changes in address.--Any change of address by a person required 
        to register under this section that is reported to the 
        designated State law enforcement agency shall as soon as 
        practicable be reported to the appropriate law enforcement 
        agency that has jurisdiction over the area in which the person 
        is residing.
            (7) Penalty.--A person required to register under a State 
        program established pursuant to this section who knowingly 
        fails to register and keep the registration current shall be 
        subject to criminal penalties in the State. It is the sense of 
        Congress that the penalties should include imprisonment for not 
        less than 180 days.
            (8) Termination of obligation to register.--The obligation 
        of a person to register under this section shall terminate on a 
        determination made in accordance with the provision of 
        paragraph (2) of this section that the person no longer suffers 
        from a mental abnormality or personality disorder that would 
        make the person likely to engage in a predatory sexually 
        violent offense.
    (c) Community Notification.--The designated State law enforcement 
agency shall release relevant information that is necessary to protect 
the public concerning a specific sexually violent predator required to 
register under this section.
    (d) Immunity for Good Faith Conduct.--Law enforcement agencies, 
employees of law enforcement agencies, and State officials shall be 
immune from liability for any good faith conduct under this section.

latest of the following times:
            ``(1) The time at which State remedies are exhausted.
            ``(2) The time at which the impediment to filing an 
        application created by State action in violation of the 
        Constitution or laws of the United States is removed, where the 
        applicant was prevented from filing by such State action.
            ``(3) The time at which the Federal right asserted was 
        initially recognized by the Supreme Court, where the right has 
        been newly recognized by the Court and is retroactively 
        applicable.
            ``(4) The time at which the factual predicate of the claim 
        or claims presented could have been discovered through the 
        exercise of reasonable diligence.''.

SEC. 402. AUTHORITY OF APPELLATE JUDGES TO ISSUE CERTIFICATES OF 
              PROBABLE CAUSE FOR APPEAL IN HABEAS CORPUS AND FEDERAL 
              COLLATERAL RELIEF PROCEEDINGS.

    Section 2253 of title 28, United States Code, is amended to read as 
follows:
``Sec. 2253. Appeal
    ``(a) In a habeas corpus proceeding or a proceeding under section 
2255 of this title before a circuit or district judge, the final order 
shall be subject to review, on appeal, by the court of appeals for the 
circuit where the proceeding is had.
    ``(b) There shall be no right of appeal from such an order in a 
proceeding to test the validity of a warrant to remove, to another 
district or place for commitment or trial, a person charged with a 
criminal offense against the United States, or to test the validity of 
his detention pending removal proceedings.
    ``(c) An appeal may not be taken to the court of appeals from the 
final order in a habeas corpus proceeding where the detention 
complained of arises out of process issued by a State court, or from 
the final order in a proceeding under section 2255 of this title, 
unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of probable 
cause.''.

SEC. 403. CONFORMING AMENDMENT TO THE RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE.

    Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 22 is amended to read as 
follows:

                               ``RULE 22

              ``Habeas Corpus and Section 2255 Proceedings

    ``(a) Application for an Original Writ of Habeas Corpus.--An 
application for a writ of habeas corpus shall be made to the 
appropriate district court. If application is made to a circuit judge, 
the application will ordinarily be transferred to the appropriate 
district court. If an application is made to or transferred to the 
district court and denied, renewal of the application before a circuit 
judge is not favored; the proper remedy is by appeal to the court of 
appeals from the order of the district court denying the writ.
    ``(b) Necessity of Certificate or Probable Cause for Appeal.--In a 
habeas corpus proceeding in which the detention complained of arises 
out of process issued by a State court, and in a motion proceeding 
pursuant to section 2255 of title 28, United States Code, an appeal by 
the applicant or movant may not proceed unless a circuit judge issues a 
certificate of probable cause. If a request for a certificate of 
probable cause is addressed to the court of appeals, it shall be deemed 
addressed to the judges thereof and shall be considered by a circuit 
judge or judges as the court deems appropriate. If no express request 
for a certificate is filed, the notice of appeal shall be deemed to 
constitute a request addressed to the judges of the court of appeals. 
If an appeal is taken by a State or the Government or its 
representative, a certificate of probable cause is not required.''.

SEC. 404. DISCRETION TO DENY HABEAS CORPUS APPLICATION DESPITE FAILURE 
              TO EXHAUST STATE REMEDIES.

    Section 2254(b) of title 28, United State Code, is amended to read 
as follows:
    ``(b) An application for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of a 
person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a State court shall not 
be granted unless it appears that the applicant has exhausted the 
remedies available in the courts of the State, or that there is either 
an absence of available State corrective process or the existence of 
circumstances rendering such process ineffective to protect the rights 
of the applicant. An application may be denied on the merits 
notwithstanding the failure of the applicant to exhaust the remedies 
available in the courts of the State.''.

SEC. 405. PERIOD OF LIMITATION FOR FEDERAL PRISONERS FILING FOR 
              COLLATERAL REMEDY.

    Section 2255 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by 
striking the second paragraph and the penultimate paragraph thereof, 
and by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
    ``A two-year period of limitation shall apply to a motion under 
this section. The limitation period shall run from the latest of the 
following times:
            ``(1) The time at which the judgment of conviction becomes 
        final.
            ``(2) The time at which the impediment to making a motion 
        created by governmental action in violation of the Constitution 
        or laws of the United States is removed, where the movant was 
        prevented from making a motion by such governmental action.
            ``(3) The time at which the right asserted was initially 
        recognized by the Supreme Court, where the right has been newly

        or claims presented could have been discovered through the 
        exercise of reasonable diligence.''.

              CASES.

              statute; procedures for appointment
    ``(a) This chapter shall apply to cases arising under section 2254 
brought by prisoners in State custody who are subject to a capital 
sentence. It shall apply only if the provisions of subsections (b) and 
(c) are satisfied.
    ``(b) This chapter is applicable if a State establishes by rule of 
its court of last resort or by statute a mechanism for the appointment, 
compensation and payment of reasonable litigation expenses of competent 
counsel in State postconviction proceedings brought by indigent 
prisoners whose capital convictions and sentences have been upheld on 
direct appeal to the court of last resort in the State or have 
otherwise become final for State law purposes. The rule of court or 
statute must provide standards of competency for the appointment of 
such counsel.
    ``(c) Any mechanism for the appointment, compensation and 
reimbursement of counsel as provided in subsection (b) must offer 
counsel to all State prisoners under capital sentence and must provide 
for the entry of an order by a court of record (1) appointing one or 
more counsel to represent the prisoner upon a finding that the prisoner 
is indigent and accepted the offer or is unable competently to decide 
whether to accept or reject the offer; (2) finding, after a hearing if 
necessary, that the prisoner rejected the offer of counsel and made the 
decision with an understanding of its legal consequences; or (3) 
denying the appointment of counsel upon a finding that the prisoner is 
not indigent.
    ``(d) No counsel appointment pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) to 
represent a State prisoner under capital sentence shall have previously 
represented the prisoner at trial or on direct appeal in the case for 
which the appointment is made unless the prisoner and counsel expressly 
request continued representation.
    ``(e) The ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel during State 
or Federal collateral postconviction proceedings in a capital case 
shall not be a ground for relief in a proceeding arising under section 
2254 of this chapter. This limitation shall not preclude the 
appointment of different counsel, on the court's own motion or at the 
request of the prisoner, at any phase of State or Federal 
postconviction proceedings on the basis of the ineffectiveness or 
incompetence of counsel in such proceedings.
``Sec. 2257. Mandatory stay of execution; duration; limits on stays of 
              execution; successive petitions
    ``(a) Upon the entry in the appropriate State court of record of an 
order under section 2256(c), a warrant or order setting an execution 
date for a State prisoner shall be stayed upon application to any court 
that would have jurisdiction over any proceedings filed under section 
2254. The application must recite that the State has invoked the 
postconviction review procedures of this chapter and that the scheduled 
execution is subject to stay.
    ``(b) A stay of execution granted pursuant to subsection (a) shall 
expire if--
            ``(1) a State prisoner fails to file a habeas corpus 
        petition under section 2254 within the time required in section 
        2258, or fails to make a timely application for court of 
        appeals review following the denial of such a petition by a 
        district court;
            ``(2) upon completion of district court and court of 
        appeals review under section 2254 the petition for relief is 
        denied and (A) the time for filing a petition for certiorari 
        has expired and no petition has been filed; (B) a timely 
        petition for certiorari was filed and the Supreme Court denied 
        the petition; or (C) a timely petition for certiorari was filed 
        and upon consideration of the case, the supreme Court disposed 
        of it in a manner that left the capital sentence undisturbed; 
        or
            ``(3) before a court of competent jurisdiction, in the 
        presence of counsel and after having been advised of the 
        consequences of his decision, a State prisoner under capital 
        sentence waives the right to pursue habeas corpus review under 
        section 2254.
    ``(c) If one of the conditions in subsection (b) has occurred, no 
Federal court thereafter shall have the authority to enter a stay of 
execution or grant relief in a capital case unless--
            ``(1) the basis for the stay and request for relief is a 
        claim not previously presented in the State or Federal courts;
            ``(2) the failure to raise the claim is (A) the result of 
        State action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the 
        United States; (B) the result of the Supreme Court recognition 
        of a new Federal right that is retroactively applicable; or (C) 
        based on a factual predicate that could not have been 
        discovered through the exercise of reasonable diligence in time 
        to present the claim for State or Federal postconviction 
        review; and
            ``(3) The facts underlying the claim would be sufficient to 
        establish by clear and convincing evidence that but for 
        constitutional error, no reasonable fact finder would have 
        found the petitioner guilty of the underlying offense or 
        eligible for the death penalty under State law.
            ``(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no 
        Federal district court or appellate judge shall have the 
        authority to enter a stay of execution, issue injunctive 
        relief, or grant any equitable or other relief in a capital 
        case on any successive habeas petition (or other action which 
        follows the final determination of a first habeas corpus 
        petition) unless the court first determines the petition or 
        other action does not constitute an abuse of the writ. This 
        determination shall be made only by the district judge or 
        appellate panel who adjudicated the merits of the original 
        habeas petition (or to the district judge or appellate panel to 
        which the case may have been subsequently assigned as a result 
        of the unavailability of the original court or judges). In the 
        Federal courts of appeal, a stay may issue pursuant to the 
        terms of this provision only when a majority of the original 
        panel or majority of the active judges determines the petition 
        does not constitute an abuse of the writ.
``Sec. 2258. Filing of habeas corpus petition; time requirements; 
              tolling rules
    ``Any petition for habeas corpus relief under section 2254 must be 
filed in the appropriate district court within one hundred and eighty 
days from the filing in the appropriate State court of record of an 
order under section 2256(c). The time requirements establish by this 
section shall be tolled--
            ``(1) from the date that a petition for certiorari is filed 
        in the Supreme Court until the date of final disposition of the 
        petition if a State prisoner files the petition to secure 
        review by the Supreme Court of the affirmance of a capital 
        sentence on direct review by the court of last resort of the 
        State or other final State court decision on direct review;
            ``(2) during any period in which a State prisoner under 
        capital sentence has a properly filed request for 
        postconviction review pending before a State court of competent 
        jurisdiction; if all State filing rules are met in a timely 
        manner, this period shall run continuously from the date that 
        the State prisoner initially files for postconviction review 
        until final disposition of the case by the highest court of the 
        State, but the time requirements established by this section 
        are not tolled during the pendency of a petition for certiorari 
        before the Supreme Court except as provided in paragraph (1); 
        and
            ``(3) during an additional period not to exceed sixty days,

        Federal district court that would have proper jurisdiction over

        section 2254; and (B) a showing of good cause is made for the 
        failure to file the habeas corpus petition within the time 
        period established by this section.
Sec. 2259. Evidentiary hearings; scope of Federal review; district 
              court adjudication
    ``(a) Whenever a State prisoner under a capital sentence files a 
petition for habeas corpus relief to which this chapter applies, the 
district court shall--
            ``(1) determine the sufficiency of the record for habeas 
        corpus review based on the claims actually presented and 
        litigated in the State courts except when the prisoner can show 
        that the failure to raise or develop a claim in the State 
        courts is (A) the result of State action in violation of the 
        Constitution or laws of the United States; (B) the result of 
        the Supreme Court recognition of a new Federal right that is 
        retroactively applicable; or (C) based on a factual predicate 
        that could not have been discovered through the exercise of 
        reasonable diligence in time to present the claim for State 
        postconviction review; and
            ``(2) conduct any requested evidentiary hearing necessary 
        to complete the record for habeas corpus review.
    ``(b) Upon the development of a complete evidentiary record, the 
district court shall rule on the claims that are properly before it.

    ``The requirement of a certificate of probable cause in order to 
appeal from the district court to the court of appeals does not apply 
to habeas corpus cases subject to the provisions of this chapter except 
when a second or successive petition is filed.
Sec. 2261. Application to State unitary review procedure
    ``(a) For purposes of this section, a `unitary review' procedure 
means a State procedure that authorizes a person under sentence of 
death to raise, in the course of direct review of the judgment, such 
claims as could be raised on collateral attack. The provisions of this 
chapter shall apply, as provided in this section, in relation to a 
State unitary review procedure if the State established by rule of its 
court of last resort or by statute a mechanism for the appointment, 
compensation and payment of reasonable litigation expenses of competent 
counsel in the unitary review proceedings, including expenses relating 
to the litigation of collateral claims in the proceedings. The rule of 
court of statute must provide standards of competency for the 
appointment of such counsel.
    ``(b) A unitary review procedure, to qualify under this section, 
must include an offer of counsel following trial for the purpose of 
representation on unitary review, and entry of an order, as provided in 
section 2256(c), concerning appointment of counsel or waiver or denial 
of appointment of counsel for that purpose. No counsel appointed to 
represent the prisoner in the unitary review proceedings shall have 
previously represented the prisoner at trial in the case for which the 
appointment is made unless the prisoner and counsel expressly request 
continued representation.
    ``(c) Sections 2257, 2258, 2259, 2260, and 2262 shall apply in 
relation to cases involving a sentence of death from any State having a 
unitary review procedure that qualifies under this section. References 
to State `post-conviction review' and `direct review' in those sections 
shall be understood as referring to unitary review under the State 
procedure. The references in sections 2257(a) and 2258 to `an order 
under section 2256(c)' shall be understood as referring to the post-
trial order under subsection (b) concerning representation in the 
unitary review proceedings, but if a transcript of the trial 
proceedings is unavailable at the time of the filing of such an order 
in the appropriate State court, then the start of the one hundred and 
eighty day limitation period under section 2258 shall be deferred until 
a transcript is made available to the prisoner or his counsel.
``Sec. 2262. Limitation periods for determining petitions
    ``(a)(1) A Federal district court shall determine such a petition 
or motion within 60 days of any argument heard on an evidentiary 
hearing, or where no evidentiary hearing is held, within 60 days of any 
final argument heard in the case.
    ``(2)(A) The court of appeals shall hear and determine any appeal 
relating to such a petition or motion within 90 days after the filing 
of any reply brief or within 90 days after such reply brief would be 
due. For purposes of this provision, any reply brief shall be due 
within 14 days of the opposition brief.
    ``(B) The court of appeals shall decide any petition for rehearing 
and or request by an appropriate judge for rehearing en banc within 20 
days of the filing of such a petition or request unless a responsive 
pleading is required in which case the court of appeals shall decide 
the application within 20 days of the filing of the responsive 
pleading. If en banc consideration is granted, the en banc court shall 
determine the appeal within 90 days of the decision to grant such 
consideration.
    ``(3) The time limitations contained in paragraphs (1) and (2) may 
be extended only once for 20 days, upon an express good cause finding 
by the court that the interests of justice warrant such a one-time 
extension. The specific grounds for the good cause finding shall be set 
forth in writing in any extension order of the court.
    ``(4) Since the matters under paragraphs (1) and (2)(A) are to be 
handled on a priority basis, the time from filing of the petition or 
motion to final argument (under paragraph (1)) or of the notice of 
appeal to the hearing of the appeal (under paragraph (2)(A)) shall not 
exceed 4 months, unless exceptional circumstances require a longer 
period. Where such time period exceeds 4 months in any petition or 
motion (under paragraph (2)(A)), the court shall set forth in writing 
the exceptional circumstances causing the delay.
    ``(b) the time limitations under section (a) shall apply to an 
initial petition or motion, and to any second or successive petition or 
motion. The same limitations shall also apply to the re-determination 
of a petition or motion or related appeal following a remand by the 
court of appeals or the Supreme Court for further proceedings, and in 
such case the limitation period shall run from the date of the remand.
    ``(c) The time limitations under this section shall not be 
construed to entitle a petitioner or movant to a stay of execution, to 
which the petitioner or movant would otherwise not be entitled, for the 
purpose of litigating any petition, motion, or appeal.
    ``(d) The failure of a court to meet or comply with the time 
limitations under this section shall not be a ground for granting 
relief from a judgment of conviction or sentence. The State or 
Government may enforce the time limitations under this section by 
applying to the court of appeals or the Supreme Court for a writ of 
mandamus.
    ``(e) the Administrative Office of United States Courts shall 
report annually to Congress on the compliance by the courts with the 
time limits established in this section.
``Sec. 2263. Rule of construction
    ``This chapter shall be construed to promote the expeditious 
conduct and conclusion of State and Federal court review in capital 
cases.''.
    (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of chapters at the beginning of 
part VI of title 28, United States Code, is amended by inserting after 
the item relating to chapter 153 the following new item:

    ``(a) Evidence Obtained by Objectively Reasonable Search or 
Seizure.--Evidence which is obtained as a result of a search or seizure 
shall not be excluded in a proceeding in a court of the United States 
on the grounds that the search or seizure was in violation of the 
fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, if the 
search or seizure was carried out in circumstances justifying an 
objectively reasonable belief that it was in conformity with the fourth 
amendment. The fact that evidence was obtained pursuant to and within 
the scope of a warrant constitutes prima facie evidence of the 
existence of such circumstances.
    ``(b) Evidence Not Excludable by Statute or Rule.--Evidence shall 
not be excluded in a proceeding in a court of the United States on the 
ground that it was obtained in violation of a statute, an 
administrative rule or regulation, or a rule of procedure unless 
exclusion is expressly authorized by statute or by a rule prescribed by 
the Supreme Court pursuant to statutory authority.
    ``(c) Rule of Construction.--This section shall not be construed to 
require or authorize the exclusion of evidence in any proceeding.''.
    (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the beginning of 
chapter 223 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at

            (1) by deleting, ``less any time credited forward the 
        service of his sentence as provided in subsection (b).''; and

        up to 15 percent of that term that may have been imposed for 
        unsatisfactory behavior.''.
    (b) Section 3624(b) of title 18, United States Code, is amended 
by--
            (1) deleting the caption ``Credit toward service of 
        sentence for satisfactory behavior'' and substituting therefor 
        ``Additional term of imprisonment for unsatisfactory 
        behavior.''; and
            (2) deleting the entire section and substituting the 
        following: ``No person may be kept in prison by reason of this 
        section for a term longer than the maximum term set by Act of 
        Congress for the offense. Notwithstanding any other provision 
        of law, such maximum term shall be deemed to be increased by 15 
        percent in order to facilitate the implementation of this 
        section. A prisoner who is serving a term of imprisonment of 
        more than one year, other than a term of imprisonment for the 
        duration of his life, shall have additional time added to his 
        sentence, beyond the time served, of up to fifty-four days at 
        the end of each year of this term of imprisonment, beginning 
        after the first year of the term if the Bureau of Prisons 
        determines that during that year, he has not satisfactorily 
        complied with such institutional disciplinary regulations as 
        have been approved by the Attorney General and issued to the 
        prisoner. The Bureau's determination shall be made within 
        fifteen days after the end of each year of the sentence. Such 
        additional time of sentence vests at the time that is received. 
        Additional time that has vested may not later be withdrawn. The 
        last year or portion of a year of the term of imprisonment 
        shall be prorated within the last six weeks of the sentence. 
        Any additional time that, by reason of this section, is spent 
        in prison beyond the term otherwise nominally imposed for the 
        offense shall be deemed a part of that term for purposes of 
        subsection (c) of this section. Under no circumstances, 
        notwithstanding any other provision of law, shall a sentence be 
        reduced for satisfactory behavior to a term less than the 
        original sentence nominally imposed.''.

    (a) Section 4161 of title 18 is amended by deleting ``has 
faithfully observed all the rules and has not been subjected to 
punishment, shall be entitled to a deduction'' and substituting ``who 
has displayed poor conduct, may be subjected to an increase in the term 
of his sentence up to the 15 percent additional discretionary term 
imposed by this title.''
    (b) Section 4162 of title 18 is amended by deleting ``be allowed 
deduction from his sentence'' and substituting ``be confined for 
additional time up to the 15 percent additional discretionary term of 
his sentence imposed by this Title,'' and by deleting ``allowance may 
be made to'' and substituting ``additional term may also be imposed 
on''; and by deleting ``meritorious service or performing duties of 
outstanding importance'' and substituting ``poorly''.
    (c) Section 4163 of title 18 is amended by deleting ``less the time 
deducted for good conduct'' and substituting ``plus the time, if any, 
added toward the 15 percent discretionary term imposed by this 
title.''.

prison work for all able-bodied inmates in Federal penal and 
correctional institutions. Such regulations shall also prohibit the 
government provision in inmates' cells of television, radio, telephone

                allegations regarding the alienage of the defendant and 
                satisfaction by the defendant of the definition of 
                aggravated felony.

                has presented substantial evidence to establish prima 
                facie eligibility for relief from deportation under 
                section 212(c), the Commissioner shall provide the 
                court with a recommendation and report regarding the

                the Attorney General demonstrates by clear and 
                convincing evidence that the alien is deportable under 
                this Act.
