Congress finds that on June 14, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States decided the case of Terry v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1858 (2021), holding that crack offenders who did not trigger a mandatory minimum do not qualify for the retroactivity provisions of section 404 of the First Step Act of 2018 ( 21 U.S.C. 841 note). The purpose of this Act is to clarify that the retroactivity provisions of section 404 of the First Step Act of 2018 ( 21 U.S.C. 841 note) are available to those offenders who were sentenced for a crack-cocaine offense before the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 ( Public Law 111–220 ) became effective, including individuals with low-level crack offenses sentenced under section 401(b)(1)(C) of the Controlled Substances Act ( 21 U.S.C. 841(b)(1)(C) ).
