what they're saying.
SEC. 3. LYNCHING.
(a) Offense.—Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
Ҥ 250. Lynching
“Whoever conspires with another person to violate section 245, 247, or 249 of this title or section 901 of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3631) shall be punished in the same manner as a completed violation of such section, except that if the maximum term of imprisonment for such completed violation is less than 10 years, the person may be imprisoned for not more than 10 years.”.
(b) Table Of Sections Amendment.—The table of sections for chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 249 the following:
“250. Lynching.”.
SEC. 4. DETERMINATION OF BUDGETARY EFFECTS.
The budgetary effects of this Act, for the purpose of complying with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, shall be determined by reference to the latest statement titled “Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation” for this Act, submitted for printing in the Congressional Record by the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, provided that such statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage.
Passed the House of Representatives February 26, 2020.
Attest:
OK, they're giving the same penalty for conspiracy to lynch as to actually carry out a lynching, but I don't see where they define "lynching" anywhere... just links to other pages that don't have the definition & each of those is similarly convoluted with reference to other sections and with multiple links to those multiple other sections and amendments.
