Biden will back bill ending the disparity between sentences for crack and powder cocaine that was created in legislation HE wrote in 1986
- The Biden administration will endorse legislation that would end the sentencing disparity between those caught with crack versus powder cocaine
- The acting director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy will back the 'Equal Act' at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday
- The move will be a reversal for Biden, who wrote legislation in 1986 as a U.S. senator that enacted steep differences in sentencing
- It mandated a five-year sentence for trafficking 500 grams of powder cocaine, versus just five grams of crack, which was given the nickname the 100-to-1 rule
- Acting Director Regina LaBelle will say the disparity 'caused significant harm for decades, particularly to individuals, families, and communities of color'
It mandated a five-year sentence for trafficking 500 grams of powder cocaine, versus just five grams of crack, which was given the nickname the 100-to-1 rule.
In 2010, during President Barack Obama's tenure, the disparity narrowed to 18-to-1.
In prepared written testimony for the Tuesday hearing, LaBelle will say, 'The current disparity is not based on evidence yet has caused significant harm for decades, particularly to individuals, families, and communities of color.'
'The continuation of this sentencing disparity is a significant injustice in our legal system, and it is past time for it to end,' LaBelle will tell lawmakers. 'Therefore, the administration urges the swift passage of the "Eliminating a Quantifiably Unjust Application of the Law Act."'
The legislation is being sponsored by Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, along with Sens. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, and Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican.
