This legislation will take some important first steps to help non-violent offenders re-enter their communities and reduce the likelihood that they would commit another crime. I commend President Trump and Chairman Grassley for their leadership and I look forward to the House passing the bill and the president signing it into law. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
