More on contractors' criminal liability

We previously wrote about congressional proposals to expand MEJA to cover more conduct by civilian contractors in theaters of military operations here and here.

The House version of the proposal, H.R. 2740, is rocketing forward. Yesterday an amended version of the proposal was reported out of the House Judiciary Committee.

The bill also picked up three new co-sponsors: Rep. Timothy Bishop [Dem. NY-1], Rep. Earl Blumenauer [Dem. OR-3], and Rep. Keith Ellison [Dem. MN-5].
