tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Safety Valve Fairness
Act of 2001’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) mandatory minimum sentencing laws, en-
acted in 1986, require lengthy sentences for drug of-
fenses and allow judges little or no discretion to con-
sider such factors as whether an offender played
only a minor role in a drug conspiracy or the offend-
er’s potential for rehabilitation;
(2) according to a December 2000 publication
authored by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, drug de-
fendants comprise 57 percent of the Federal prison
population, up from 38 percent in 1986 when man-
datory sentencing laws were passed;
(3) a provision in the 1994 Crime Bill, com-
monly known as the ‘‘safety valve’’ provision, allows
judges to apply sentencing guidelines instead of
mandatory sentences to drug offenders who meet the
criteria defined by Congress: first-time, nonviolent
drug offenders who were not leaders or organizers,
did not use a firearm, and provided the government
with all the information they had about their cases;
(4) the 1994 safety valve provision was not
retroactively applied and does not apply to sentences
imposed on, or before September 13, 1994; and
(5) according to the 1999 Sourcebook of Fed-
eral Sentencing Statistics, prepared by the United
States Sentencing Commission, in fiscal year 1999
HR 768 EAS
(1) IN GENERAL.—For the purpose of completing
the study under subsection (a)(1), a participating in-
stitution shall—
(A) collect and maintain for each academic
year until the study under subsection (a)(1) is
completed—
(i) student-level data that is sufficient,
in the judgment of the Comptroller General,
to permit the analysis of expected family
contributions, identified need, and under-
graduate grant aid awards; and
(ii) information on formulas used by
the institution to determine need; and
(B) submit the data and information under
paragraph (1) to the Comptroller General at
such time as the Comptroller General may rea-
sonably require.
(2) NON-PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS.—Nothing
in this subsection shall be construed to require an in-
stitution of higher education that does not participate
under the antitrust exemption under section 568 of
the Improving America’s Schools Act of 1994 (15
U.S.C. 1 note) to collect and maintain data under
this subsection.
nearly 21 percent of the offenders sentenced for
Federal drug crimes qualified for the safety valve.
SEC. 3. EXTENSION OF APPLICATION OF LIMITATION ON
STATUTORY MINIMUMS IN CERTAIN CASES.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Section 3553(f) of title 18, United
States Code, is amended by inserting ‘‘whether or not the
sentence for that offense was imposed before, on, or after
the date of the enactment of this subsection,’’ before ‘‘the
court shall impose a sentence’’.
(b) EFFECT
ON
EXISTING
CONVICTIONS.—The
amendment made by this section shall apply with respect
to sentences imposed before the date of enactment of this
Act but not yet completed. A prisoner may who was so
sentenced may petition for reconsideration of that sen-
tence.
