                                    A BILL 
  
To prevent crime and to reform the criminal justice system to make 
  it more fair. 
  
    //Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
the United States of America in Congress assembled,\\ 
  
!!SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.!! 
  
    This Act may be cited as the "Crime Prevention and Criminal 
Justice Reform Act ". 
  
!!SEC. 2. FINDINGS.!! 
  
    The Congress finds that-- 
        (1) the current national crime and drug strategy is 
    failing; 
        (2) one of the main failings of the policies of the past 
    has been that too few resources are directed at the root of the 
    problem before the tragedy of crime and violence occurs; 
        (3) law enforcement bears an unfair and disproportionate 
    share of the burden of addressing the problems caused by 
    failings in our system of health in the prevention and treatment 
    of drug and alcohol abuse and prevention and inadequate support 
    systems for our families, and in particular at-risk youth and 
    children; 
        (4) law enforcement has been forced to bear this unfair 
    burden without adequate resources, training, and equipment to 
    help them provide directly for the safety of persons and 
    property; 
        (5) personal responsibility for criminal conduct is a 
    central element of the concept of ordered liberty, and personal 
    responsibility includes the obligation of offenders to change 
    their lives through treatment and education so they can 
    contribute to their families and communities; 
        (6) many measures included in what is usually called a 
    crime bill (more death penalties, more Federal crimes, longer 
    prison sentences) do nothing to reduce crime and polarize and 
    shift the focus and resources away from strategies that have 
    proven to be more effective in addressing crime and violence; 
        (7) law enforcement professionals agree that the solutions 
    to the Nation's crime and drug problems will be found in crime 
    prevention measures that include drug treatment, early childhood 
    intervention programs, full funding for Head Start programs and 
    the Women Infants and Children Program, rehabilitation and 
    alternatives to incarceration, community policing, and family 
    support programs, as well as in programs to rebuild communities 
    through education, employment, and housing; 
        (8) crime is an all encompassing problem and solving the 
    problem necessitates a multi-disciplinary approach, including 
    safe and drug free schools for children to get the most out of 
    their learning environment, reduction and prevention of the 
    incidence of crime among youth through grant programs that 
    encourage counseling, prevention, intervention, and the 
    rehabilitation of youth offenders, and reduction in the 
    incidence of child abuse through education, prevention, and 
    counseling; 
        (9) there is a sense of distrust and a widespread 
    perception in many communities, particularly among people of 
    color, that the criminal justice system values victims 
    differently and is at times fundamentally unfair to criminal 
    defendants of color; 
        (10) the perception and reality of racial bias in the 
    workings of the criminal justice system is deeply corrosive of 
    one of the most important institutions in our society and the 
    perception of unfairness robs the criminal justice system of the 
    respect and credibility it must have to achieve its goal of 
    keeping the public safe and maintaining law and order; 
        (11) reform of the criminal justice system is necessary to 
    restore the credibility and respect that have been undermined by 
    racism, excessive and disproportionate prison sentences, abusive 
    police practices and civil forfeiture practices; 
        (12) a highly trained professional police force sensitive 
    to the needs of all members of the community is essential in 
    returning respect to law enforcement personnel; 
        (13) solutions to the crime and drug problem cannot be 
    found at the Federal level and the Federal Government should 
    facilitate and encourage community efforts to fight crime; 
        (14) incentives for local communities to start community 
    empowerment programs will make their communities safer; and 
        (15) victims of violent crime have specific needs, 
    including counseling and restitution and too few resources have 
    been directed toward the support and encouragement of the 
    victims and survivors of violent crime.

                      !!CHAPTER 1--GENERAL PROVISIONS !! 
  
!!SEC. 401. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.!! 
  
    (a) FINDINGS.--Congress finds the following: 
        (1) An increasing number of children are becoming separated 
    from their primary caretaker parents due to the incarceration of 
    such parents in prisons and jails. 
        (2) This separation of children from their primary 
    caretaker parents can cause irreparable harm to the children's 
    psychological well-being and hinder their growth and 
    development. 
        (3) A significant number of children are born shortly 
    before or during the incarceration of their mothers and are then 
    quickly separated from their mothers, preventing the parent- 
    child bonding that is crucial to developing in children a sense 
    of security and trust. 
        (4) Maintaining close relationships with their children 
    provides a powerful incentive for prisoners to participate in 
    and successfully benefit from rehabilitative programs. 
        (5) Maintaining strong family ties during imprisonment has 
    been shown to decrease recidivism, thereby reducing prison 
    costs. 
  
    (b) PURPOSES.--The purposes of this subtitle are-- 
        (1) to create demonstration projects designed to alleviate 
    the harm to children and primary caretaker parents caused by 
    separation due to the incarceration of such parents, 
        (2) to promote development of policies to assign prisoners 
    whenever possible to correctional facilities for which they 
    qualify closest to their family homes, 
        (3) to reduce prison populations, 
        (4) to reduce recidivism rates of prisoners by encouraging 
    strong and supportive family relationships, and 
        (5) to reduce the cost of providing correctional services 
    and maintaining traditional correctional facilities by 
    decreasing recidivism and maintaining community correctional 
    facilities at lower cost.

                      !!SUBTITLE A--RACIAL JUSTICE ACT!! 
  
!!SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.!! 
  
    This subtitle may be cited as the "Racial Justice Act of 1993". 
  
!!SEC. 602. FINDINGS.!! 
  
    The Congress finds that-- 
        (1) section 5 of the fourteenth amendment of the United 
    States Constitution calls upon Congress to enforce the 
    Constitution's promise of equality under law; 
        (2) equality under law is tested most profoundly by whether 
    a legal system tolerates race playing a role in the 
    determination of whether and when to administer the ultimate 
    penalty of death; 
        (3) the death penalty is being administered in a pattern 
    that evidences a significant risk that the race of the defendant, 
    or the race of the victim against whom the crime was committed, 
    influences the likelihood that the defendant will be sentenced 
    to death; 
        (4) the Constitution's guarantee of equal justice for all 
    is jeopardized when the death penalty is imposed in a pattern in 
    which the likelihood of a death sentence is affected by the race 
    of the perpetrator or of the victim; 
        (5) the United States Supreme Court has concluded that the 
    Federal judiciary is institutionally unable to eliminate this 
    jeopardy to equal justice in the absence of proof that a 
    legislature, prosecutor, judge, or jury acted with racially 
    invidious and discriminatory motives in the case of a particular 
    defendant; 
        (6) the interest in ensuring equal justice under law may be 
    harmed, not only by decisions motivated by explicit racial bias, 
    but also by government rules, policies, and practices that 
    operate to reinforce the subordinate status to which racial 
    minorities were relegated in our society; 
        (7) the institutional need of courts to identify 
    invidiously motivated perpetrators is not shared by Congress, 
    which is empowered by section 5 of the fourteenth amendment to 
    take system-wide, preventive measures not only to eliminate 
    adjudicated instances of official race discrimination but also 
    to eradicate wide-scale patterns and practices that entail an 
    intolerable danger that persons of different races would be 
    treated differently; and 
        (8) the persistent racial problems pervading the 
    implementation of the death penalty in many parts of this Nation 
    require the Government of the United States to counteract the 
    lingering effects of racial prejudice in order to enforce the 
    constitutional guarantee of equal justice for all Americans.

!!"S 2921. Definitions!! 
  
    "For purposes of this chapter-- 
        "(1) the term `a racially discriminatory pattern' means a 
    situation in which sentences of death are imposed more 
    frequently-- 
            "(A) upon persons of one race than upon persons of 
        another race; or 
            "(B) as punishment for crimes against persons of one 
        race than as punishment for crimes against persons of 
        another race, 
        and the greater frequency is not explained by pertinent 
    nonracial circumstances; 
        "(2) the term `death-eligible crime' means a crime for 
    which death is a punishment that is authorized by law to be 
    imposed under any circumstances upon a conviction of that crime; 
        "(3) the term `case of death-eligible crime' means a case 
    in which the complaint, indictment, information, or any other 
    initial or subsequent charging paper charges any person with a 
    death-eligible crime; and 
        "(4) the term `Federal or State entity' means any State, 
    the District of Columbia, the United States, any territory 
    thereof, and any subdivision or authority of any of these 
    entities that is empowered to provide by law that death be

!!"S 2922. Prohibition on the imposition or execution of the death 
            penalty in a racially discriminatory pattern!! 
  
    "(a) PROHIBITION.--It is unlawful to impose or execute 
sentences of death under color of State or Federal law in a racially 
discriminatory pattern. No person shall be put to death in the 
execution of a sentence imposed pursuant to any law if that person's 
death sentence furthers a racially discriminatory pattern. 
  
    "(b) ESTABLISHMENT OF A PATTERN.--To establish that a racially 
discriminatory pattern exists for purposes of this chapter-- 
        "(1) ordinary methods of statistical proof shall suffice; 
    and 
        "(2) it shall not be necessary to show discriminatory 
    motive, intent, or purpose on the part of any individual or 
    institution. 
  
    "(c) PRIMA FACIE SHOWING.--(1) To establish a prima facie 
showing of a racially discriminatory pattern for purposes of this 
chapter, it shall suffice that death sentences are being imposed or 
executed-- 
        "(A) upon persons of one race with a frequency that is 
    disproportionate to their representation among the numbers of 
    persons arrested for, charged with, or convicted of, death- 
    eligible crimes; or 
        "(B) as punishment for crimes against persons of one race 
    with a frequency that is disproportionate to their 
    representation among persons against whom death-eligible crimes 
    have been committed. 
  
    "(2) To rebut a prima facie showing of a racially 
discriminatory pattern, a State or Federal entity must establish by 
clear and convincing evidence that identifiable and pertinent 
nonracial factors persuasively explain the observable racial 
disparities comprising the pattern. 
  
!!"S 2923. Data on death penalty cases!! 
  
    "(a) DESIGNATION OF AGENCY.--Any State or Federal entity that 
provides by law for death to be imposed as a punishment for any

    agency responsible for the investigation or prosecution of death- 
    eligible crimes a standard form to collect pertinent data;

    information contained in the forms, and make both the forms and 
    the compiled information publicly available; 
        "(4) maintain a centralized, alphabetically indexed file of 
    all police and investigative reports transmitted to it by local 
    officials or agencies in every case of death-eligible crime; and 
        "(5) allow access to its file of police and investigative 
    reports to the counsel of record for any person charged with any 
    death-eligible crime or sentenced to death who has made or 
    intends to make a claim under section 2922 and it may also allow 
    access to this file to other persons. 
  
    "(c) RESPONSIBILITY OF LOCAL OFFICIAL.--(1) Each local official 
responsible for the investigation or prosecution of death-eligible 
crimes shall-- 
        "(A) complete the standard form developed pursuant to 
    subsection (b)(2) on every case of death-eligible crime; and 
        "(B) transmit the standard form to the central agency no 
    later than 3 months after the disposition of each such case 
    whether that disposition is by dismissal of charges, reduction 
    of charges, acceptance of a plea of guilty to the death-eligible 
    crime or to another crime, acquittal, conviction, or any 
    decision not to proceed with prosecution. 
  
    "(2) In addition to the standard form, the local official or 
agency shall transmit to the central agency one copy of all police 
and investigative reports made in connection with each case of death- 
eligible crime.

break from precedent, announced by the Supreme Court of the United 
States, that could not reasonably have been anticipated at the time

        of members of the bar with substantial experience in, or 
        commitment to, the representation of criminal defendants in

    claim presented in a second or successive application, that was 
    not presented in a prior application under this chapter, shall 
    be dismissed unless-- 
            "(A) the applicant shows that-- 
                "(i) the basis of the claim could not have been 
            discovered by the exercise of reasonable diligence 
            before the applicant filed the prior application; or 
                "(ii) the failure to raise the claim in the prior 
            application was due to action by State officials in 
            violation of the Constitution of the United States; and 
            "(B) the facts underlying the claim would be sufficient, 
        if proven, to undermine the court's confidence in the

    circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of probable cause.

    of appeal without a certification of probable cause, except 
    after denial of a second or successive application.".

        "In adjudicating the merits of any such ground, the court

    pertinent Federal legal standards and in applying those 
    standards to the facts and shall not defer to a previous State 
    court judgment regarding a Federal legal standard or its 
    application. Upon request, the court shall permit the parties to 
    present evidence regarding material facts that were not 
    adequately developed in State court. The court shall award 
    relief with respect to any meritorious constitutional ground, 
    unless, in the case of a violation that can be harmless, the 
    respondent shows that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable 
    doubt.".

    "(a) At any time, and notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, a district court shall issue habeas corpus relief on behalf of 
an applicant under sentence of death, imposed either in Federal or 
in State court, who offers credible newly discovered evidence which, 
had it been presented to the trier of fact or sentencing authority 
at trial, would probably have resulted in-- 
        "(1) an acquittal of the offense for which the death 
    sentence was imposed; or 
        "(2) a sentence other than death. 
  
    "(b) An application filed pursuant to subsection (a) shall 
offer substantial evidence which, if credible, would establish one 
of the standards in subsection (a)(1) or (2). An application that 
fails to do so may be dismissed. 
  
    "(c) If the court concludes that an application meets the 
requirements in subsection (b), the court shall-- 
        "(1) order the respondent to file an answer; 
        "(2) permit the parties to conduct reasonable discovery; 
        "(3) conduct a hearing to resolve disputed issues of fact; 
    and 
        "(4) upon request, issue a stay of execution pending 
    further proceedings in the district court and on direct review 
    of the district court's judgment. 
  
    "(d) If the court concludes that the applicant meets the 
standards established by subsection (a)(1) or (2), the court shall 
order his or her release, unless a new trial or, in an appropriate 
case, a new sentencing proceeding, is conducted within a reasonable 
time. 
  
    "(e) If the court determines that the applicant is currently 
entitled to pursue other available and effective remedies in either 
State or Federal court, the court may, at the request of either 
party, suspend its consideration of the application under this 
section until the applicant has exhausted those remedies. A stay 
issued pursuant to subsection (c) shall remain in effect during such 
a suspension. 
  
    "(f) An application under this section may be consolidated with 
any other pending application under this chapter, filed by the same 
applicant.". 
  
    (b) CLERICAL AMENDMENT.--The table of sections at the beginning 
of chapter 153 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding 
after the provision added by section 805 of this subtitle the 
following: 
  
"2258. Claims of innocence.". 
  
!!SEC. 810. PROCEDURAL DEFAULT IN STATE COURT.!! 
  
    Section 2254 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by 
adding the following: 
  
    "(h)(1) A district court shall decline to consider a claim 
under this section if-- 
        "(A) the applicant previously failed to raise the claim in 
    State court at the time and in the manner prescribed by State 
    law; the State courts, for that reason, refused or would refuse 
    to entertain the claim; such refusal would constitute an 
    adequate and independent State law ground that would foreclose 
    direct review of the State court judgment in the Supreme Court 
    of the United States; and 
        "(B) the applicant fails to show cause for the failure to 
    raise the claim in State court and prejudice to the applicant's 
    right to fair proceedings or to an accurate outcome resulting 
    from the alleged violation of the Federal right asserted, or 
    that failure to consider the claim would result in a miscarriage 
    of justice. 
  
    "(2) The court shall not find cause in any case in which it 
appears that the applicant or counsel deliberately withheld a claim 
from the State courts for strategic purposes. An applicant may 
establish cause by showing that-- 
        "(A) the factual basis of the claim could not have been 
    discovered by the exercise of reasonable diligence before the 
    applicant could have raised the claim in State court; 
        "(B) the claim relies on a decision of the Supreme Court of 
    the United States, announced after the applicant might have 
    raised the claim in State court; or 
        "(C) the failure to raise the claim in State court was due 
    to interference by State officials, counsel's ignorance or 
    neglect, or counsel's ineffective assistance in violation of the 
    Constitution.".

provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of such section), it shall be 
unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or 
licensed dealer to sell, deliver, or transfer a handgun to an

        to the chief law enforcement officer, during which period 
        the transferor has not received information from the chief 
        law enforcement officer that receipt or possession of the 
        handgun by the transferee would be in violation of Federal, 
        State, or local law; or 
            "(II) the transferor has received notice from the chief 
        law enforcement officer that the officer has no information

            "(II) was issued not more than 5 years earlier by the 
        State in which the transfer is to take place; and 
        "(ii) the law of the State provides that such a permit is 
    to be issued only after an authorized government official has 
    verified that the information available to such official does 
    not indicate that possession of a handgun by the transferee 
    would be in violation of the law; 
        "(D) the law of the State requires that, before any 
    licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer 
    completes the transfer of a handgun to an individual who is not 
    licensed under section 923, an authorized government official 
    verify that the information available to such official does not

General.

    contacts the national instant criminal background check system 
    established under section 903 of such Act; 
        "(B) the system notifies the licensee that the system has 
    not located any record that demonstrates that the receipt of a

        "(C) the transferor has verified the identity of the 
    transferee by examining a valid identification document (as

if the licensee knowingly transfers a firearm to such other person 
and knowingly fails to comply with paragraph (1) of this subsection 
with respect to the transfer and, at the time such other person most 
recently proposed the transfer, the national instant criminal 
background check system was operating and information was available

person would violate subsection (g) or (n) of this section, the 
Secretary may, after notice and opportunity for a hearing, suspend 
for not more than 6 months or revoke any license issued to the 
licensee under section 923, and may impose on the licensee a civil 
fine of not more than $5,000.

Government or of any State or local government, responsible for 
providing information to the national instant criminal background
