Sentencing panel adopts clarifying statutory language and two juvenile option B changes, delays others

At its Jan. 9 meeting the Sentencing Guideline Commission approved clarifying language about 'class A' references and broadened eligibility for unlawful firearm possession under juvenile option B; it agreed to allow multiple option B disposals contingent on judicial parameters to be developed at a later meeting, and deferred a final decision on expanding option B for assault‑2 and robbery‑1.
