Confronting and Correcting Historical Injustices Act

This bill would create a federal Commission for Review and Correction of Historical Injustices. The Commission would review cases where a federal agency discriminated against people protected by civil rights laws, people with disabilities, or members of the uniformed services, including cases that led to charges, convictions, or dismissals, and cases where no compensation was paid. It would have eight members appointed by House and Senate leaders of both parties, would set up a way for the public to submit cases within 90 days, and could issue subpoenas to agencies. The Commission would report to Congress at least every three months with the cases it reviewed and recommendations for legislative or executive action.
