Summary

Increases criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. §111 for assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees. Short prison terms in one subsection are raised from 1 year to 2 years and from 8 years to 10 years; a felony maximum is increased from 20 years to 25 years and the statutory fine language is replaced to allow fines up to $500,000. The amendment appears to include a drafting error or placeholder ("up to 00,000") in one phrase. These changes raise maximum penalties and fine caps for covered offenses, which affects defendants charged under section 111, prosecutors, courts, and corrections by increasing potential sentencing exposure and possible financial penalties.
