     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First Step Implementation Act of 2021&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill makes various changes related to federal sentencing law and requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to establish procedures to ensure the prompt release and accuracy of employment-related background check records. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;allows certain reduced mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses to be applied retroactively to offenders who committed their offenses on or before December 21, 2018; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;permits a court, in certain circumstances, to grant safety valve relief (i.e., impose a sentence without regard to the statutory mandatory minimum penalty for certain drug offenses) for an otherwise eligible defendant who does not meet the requirement pertaining to criminal history; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;permits a court to reduce a sentence imposed on a defendant convicted as an adult for an offense committed as a juvenile if the defendant has served at least 20 years of the sentence; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;establishes a process to seal and expunge certain records of juvenile nonviolent offenses; and &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;requires DOJ to establish and enforce procedures to ensure that records exchanged for employment-related background checks are promptly released and accurate. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
