US Sentencing Commission this morning conducting “Public Hearing on Retroactivity” for its proposed 2024 guideline amendments

As detailed in this official notice, the United States Sentencing Commission is scheduled this morning to begin a public hearing “for the Commission to gather testimony from invited witnesses concerning whether to designate as retroactive certain 2024 guideline amendments relating to acquitted conduct, firearms, and drug offenses.”

The USSC published some of the first round of public comments here, and it is allowing reply comment to be submitted (through the Public Comment Submission Portal) by July 22, 2024.  And, as previous noted, the Commission has published its staff’s analysis of the impact of certain 2024 amendments if made retroactive at this link.

This USSC webpage provides the video link to watch the hearing, which is scheduled to run from 9am to 12:15pm, as well as the full “Agenda and Witness Statements.”  I am not sure I will have a chance to listen to the full hearing, but I am going to try to listen to the first two panels focused on the acquitted conduct amendment.
