A count in the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 is applied as 37 rather than 36
What the document says“shall be applied by substituting ``37'' for ``36'' each place it appears.”
Section 1115 applies section 235(b) of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 (18 U.S.C. 3551 note) with 37 in place of 36 everywhere it appears, so far as that provision relates to chapter 311 of title 18, United States Code, and the United States Parole Commission, during the period covered by the Act.
What the document actually says“shall be applied by substituting ``37'' for ``36'' each place it appears.”
The number 36 is read as 37 instead. That happens everywhere it shows up.
The count is of years. It sets how long a body may keep working. Adding one keeps it going another year.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
