(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 775; Pub. L. 101647, title XXV, § 2527(b), Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4877; Pub. L. 103322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

Notes

Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 498 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 307, 35 Stat. 1148). Mandatory punishment provisions were rephrased in the alternative. Minor changes were made in phraseology.

Editorial Notes

Amendments1994—Pub. L. 103322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $1,000” in last par. 1990—Pub. L. 101647, which directed insertion of “section 11, 12, or 13 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act” after “consideration of any action brought under”, could not be executed because the words “consideration of any action brought under” did not appear.
