(b) Whoever, in violation of this section, takes or attempts to take, or authorizes the taking of any such vessel, out of port or from the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 747; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

Historical and Revision Notes Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§33, 36 (June 15, 1917, ch. 30, title V, §§3, 6, 40 Stat. 222; Mar. 28, 1940, ch. 72, §5, 54 Stat. 79). Section consolidates said sections of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed. Words "within the United States" were substituted for "within the jurisdiction" etc., in view of the definition of United States in section 5 of this title. Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative. The conspiracy provision of said section 36 was omitted as covered by section 371 of this title. See reviser's note under that section. Minor changes of phraseology were made.

Editorial Notes

Amendments 1994—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $10,000".
