Amendment 281

AMENDMENT 281

Section 5E4.2(c)(3) is amended by deleting:

"1	$ 25	$ 250
2-3	$100	$1,000
4-5	$250	$2,500",

"3 and below	$100	$5,000
4-5	$250	$5,000".

Reason for Amendment: The purpose of this amendment is to increase the maximum in the fine table for offense levels 5 and below to $5,000, an amount equal to the maximum fine authorized for a petty offense. Moreover, because the guidelines now cover only felonies and class A misdemeanors, the minimum fine guideline is increased to $100.

Effective Date: The effective date of this amendment is November 1, 1989.
