AMENDMENT 279
The Commentary to §5E4.1 captioned "Background" is amended in the first paragraph by deleting:
"See S. Rep. No. 225, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. 95-96.",
and inserting in lieu thereof:
"See 18 U.S.C. § 3563(b)(3) as amended by Section 7110 of Pub. L. No. 100-690 (1988).".
Reason for Amendment: This amendment replaces a reference to legislative history with a citation to a revised statute. Section 7110 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 confirms the authority of a sentencing court to impose restitution as a condition of probation. Previously, such authority was inferred from 18 U.S.C. §3563(b)(20) (defendant may be ordered to "satisfy such other conditions as the court may impose") and from legislative history.
Effective Date: The effective date of this amendment is November 1, 1989.
