Sentencing Reform Provisions Under the First Step Act (Title IV)
The First Step Act made important changes to several federal drug and gun statutes. The Act reduced mandatory minimum enhancements for some drug defendants and also changed the definition of these enhancements. It also modified the existing federal safety valve, broadening its application to more drug defendants; changed the “stacking” penalty under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c); and retroactively applied the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010.
