What it does
The Larry Henderson Act would amend federal law to impose a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in prison for anyone who causes any bodily harm or injury while assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer or employee performing official duties. It would eliminate existing lesser penalties under Section 111 of Title 18, U.S. Code, and replace them with this strict mandatory minimum. The bill also clarifies that these provisions apply exclusively to federal officers and employees and supersede any conflicting state laws regarding such offenses. The changes would take effect for any offense committed on or after the date the bill is enacted.
