What This Bill Does
This bill changes federal law to stop people convicted of carjacking from receiving early release credits toward their prison sentences. The bill amends the rules about how much time prisoners can cut off their sentences.
Who It Affects
Prisoners in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (the federal agency that runs federal prisons) who are convicted of carjacking.
Key Provisions
* Prisoners convicted of carjacking cannot receive credit toward reducing their prison sentence (Sec. 2)

Important Definitions
Carjacking: taking a motor vehicle from someone, as defined in federal law section 2119.
Effective Date
The law applies to all prisoners in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons on or after the date this bill becomes law (Sec. 3).
