HR-6714 : Still Just a Bill

H.R. 6714, also known as "An Act To provide remote access to court proceedings for victims of the 1988 Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland," aims to ensure that victims of the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing have remote access to court proceedings related to the case against Abu Agila Mohammed Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi and any co-conspirators.

• Definition of Victim: Defines who is considered a "victim" eligible for remote access, including those directly harmed, family members, and those with similar significant relationships, excluding anyone involved in the bombing.
• Remote Access Mandate: Requires the relevant U.S. district court to make reasonable efforts to provide remote video and telephonic access to court proceedings for these victims, regardless of their location.
• Court Discretion: Preserves the court's authority to manage remote access to maintain courtroom order, protect the integrity of proceedings, and ensure the safety of participants.
