This section requires the responsible Secretary to create systems for remitting or suspending sentences and for restoring or enlisting certain offenders. The systems apply to offenders who were under that Secretary’s authority when they committed their offenses.

For offenders who were subject to the responsible Secretary’s authority when they committed their offenses and who deserve this action, the Secretary must establish (1) a system to remit or suspend the unexecuted part of selected offenders’ sentences; (2) a system to restore to duty offenders whose unexecuted sentence part was remitted or suspended and who were not discharged; and (3) a system to enlist offenders whose unexecuted sentence part was remitted and who were discharged.
