     by striking paragraphs (2) through (4) and inserting the 
     following:

     in the victim's mailing address while restitution is still

     circumstances that might affect the defendant's ability to 
     pay restitution.
       ``(4) Compliance with all payment directions imposed under 
     paragraphs (6) and (7) shall be prima facie evidence of a 
     good faith effort under paragraph (3)(A), unless it is shown 
     that the defendant has concealed or dissipated assets.
       ``(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 
     purpose of enforcing a restitution order, a United States 
     Attorney may receive, without the need for a court order, any 
     financial information concerning the defendant obtained by 
     the grand jury that indicted the defendant for the crime for 
     which restitution has been awarded, the United States

     inheritance, settlement, or other judgment, shall be applied 
     to any outstanding restitution obligation.

     of the defendant do not allow the payment of any substantial 
     amount as restitution, the court may direct the defendant to 
     make nominal payments of not less than $100 per year toward 
     the restitution obligation.
       ``(B) Any money received from the defendant under 
     subparagraph (A) shall be disbursed so that any outstanding 
     assessment imposed under section 3013 is paid first in full.

     limit the ability of the Attorney General to maintain an 
     Inmate Financial Responsibility Program that encourages 
     sentenced inmates to meet their legitimate financial 
     obligations.
       ``(10)(A) The ability of the Attorney General to enforce 
     restitution obligations ordered under paragraph (2) shall not

     sentence, unless the court expressly so orders for good cause 
     shown and stated on the record.
       ``(B) Absent exceptional circumstances, as determined by 
     the court, an order limiting the enforcement of restitution 
     obligations shall--

     the district court, any amount of the restitution that is 
     due;

     the ability of the United States to continue its 
     investigation of the defendant's financial circumstances,

     other relief from the court.''.

     the fine or assessment imposed.

     orders, for good cause shown and stated on the record.

     SEC. 742. AMENDMENTS TO THE MANDATORY VICTIMS RESTITUTION 
                   ACT.

       (a) In General.--Chapter 232 of title 18, United States 
     Code, is amended by inserting after section 3664 the 
     following:

     ``Sec. 3664A. Preservation of assets for restitution

       ``(a) Protective Orders To Preserve Assets.--
       ``(1) In general.--Upon the Government's ex parte 
     application and a finding of probable cause to believe that a 
     defendant, if convicted, will be ordered to satisfy an order 
     of restitution for an offense punishable by imprisonment for 
     more than 1 year, the court--
       ``(A) shall--
       ``(i) enter a restraining order or injunction;
       ``(ii) require the execution of a satisfactory performance 
     bond; or
       ``(iii) take any other action necessary to preserve the 
     availability of any property traceable to the commission of 
     the offense charged; and
       ``(B) if it determines that it is in the interests of 
     justice to do so, shall issue any order necessary to preserve 
     any nonexempt asset (as defined in section 3613) of the 
     defendant that may be used to satisfy such restitution order.
       ``(2) Procedures.--Applications and orders issued under 
     paragraph (1) shall be governed by the procedures under 
     section 413(e) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 
     853(e)) and in this section.
       ``(3) Monetary instruments.--If the property in question is 
     a monetary instrument (as defined in section 1956(c)(5)) or 
     funds in electronic form, the protective order issued under 
     paragraph (1) may take the form of a warrant authorizing the 
     Government to seize the property and to deposit it into an 
     interest-bearing account in the Registry of the Court in the 
     district in which the warrant was issued, or into another 
     such account maintained by a substitute property custodian, 
     as the court may direct.
       ``(4) Post-indictment.--A post-indictment protective order 
     entered under paragraph (1) shall remain in effect through 
     the conclusion of the criminal case, including sentencing and 
     any post-sentencing proceedings, until seizure or other 
     disposition of the subject property, unless modified by the 
     court upon a motion by the Government or under subsection (b) 
     or (c).
       ``(b) Defendant's Right to a Hearing.--
       ``(1) In general.--In the case of a preindictment 
     protective order entered under subsection (a)(1), the 
     defendant's right to a post-restraint hearing shall be 
     governed by paragraphs (1)(B) and (2) of section 413(e) of 
     the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(e)).
       ``(2) Post-indictment.--In the case of a post-indictment 
     protective order entered under subsection (a)(1), the 
     defendant shall have a right to a post-restraint hearing 
     regarding the continuation or modification of the order if 
     the defendant--
       ``(A) establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that 
     there are no assets, other than the

[[Page 27717]]

     restrained property, available to the defendant to retain 
     counsel in the criminal case or to provide for a reasonable 
     living allowance for the necessary expenses of the defendant 
     and the defendant's lawful dependents; and
       ``(B) makes a prima facie showing that there is bona fide 
     reason to believe that the court's ex parte finding of 
     probable cause under subsection (a)(1) was in error.
       ``(3) Hearing.--
       ``(A) In general.--If the court determines that the 
     defendant has satisfied the requirements of paragraph (2), it 
     may hold a hearing to determine whether there is probable 
     cause to believe that the defendant, if convicted, will be 
     ordered to satisfy an order of restitution for an offense 
     punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year, and that the 
     seized or restrained property may be needed to satisfy such 
     restitution order.
       ``(B) Probable cause.--If the court finds probable cause 
     under subparagraph (A), the protective order shall remain in 
     effect.
       ``(C) No probable cause.--If the court finds under 
     subparagraph (A) that no probable cause exists as to some or 
     all of the property, or determines that more property has 
     been seized and restrained than may be needed to satisfy a 
     restitution order, it shall modify the protective order to 
     the extent necessary to release the property that should not 
     have been restrained.
       ``(4) Rebuttal.--If the court conducts an evidentiary 
     hearing under paragraph (3), the court shall afford the 
     Government an opportunity to present rebuttal evidence and to 
     cross-examine any witness that the defendant may present.
       ``(5) Pretrial hearing.--In any pretrial hearing on a 
     protective order issued under subsection (a)(1), the court 
     may not entertain challenges to the grand jury's finding of 
     probable cause regarding the criminal offense giving rise to 
     a potential restitution order. The court shall ensure that 
     such hearings are not used to obtain disclosure of evidence 
     or the identities of witnesses earlier than required by the 
     Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or other applicable law.
       ``(c) Third Party's Right to Post-Restraint Hearing.--
       ``(1) In general.--A person other than the defendant who 
     has a legal interest in property affected by a protective 
     order issued under subsection (a)(1) may move to modify the 
     order on the grounds that--
       ``(A) the order causes an immediate and irreparable 
     hardship to the moving party; and
       ``(B) less intrusive means exist to preserve the property 
     for the purpose of restitution.
       ``(2) Modification.--If, after considering any rebuttal 
     evidence offered by the Government, the court determines that 
     the moving party has made the showings required under 
     paragraph (1), the court shall modify the order to mitigate 
     the hardship, to the extent that it is possible to do so 
     while preserving the asset for restitution.
       ``(3) Intervention.--
       ``(A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B) 
     or paragraph (1), a person other than a defendant has no 
     right to intervene in the criminal case to object to the 
     entry of any order issued under this section or otherwise to 
     object to an order directing a defendant to pay restitution.
       ``(B) Exception.--If, at the conclusion of the criminal 
     case, the court orders the defendant to use particular assets 
     to satisfy an order of restitution (including assets that 
     have been seized or restrained pursuant to this section) the 
     court shall give persons other than the defendant the 
     opportunity to object to the order on the ground that the 
     property belonged in whole or in part to the third party and 
     not to the defendant, as provided in section 413(n) of the 
     Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(n)).
       ``(d) Geographic Scope of Order.--
       ``(1) In general.--A district court of the United States 
     shall have jurisdiction to enter an order under this section 
     without regard to the location of the property subject to the 
     order.
       ``(2) Outside the united states.--If the property subject 
     to an order issued under this section is located outside of 
     the United States, the order may be transmitted to the 
     central authority of any foreign state for service in 
     accordance with any treaty or other international agreement.
       ``(e) No Effect on Other Government Action.--Nothing in 
     this section shall be construed to preclude the Government 
     from seeking the seizure, restraint, or forfeiture of assets 
     under the asset forfeiture laws of the United States.
       ``(f) Limitation on Rights Conferred.--Nothing in this 
     section shall be construed to create any enforceable right to 
     have the Government seek the seizure or restraint of property 
     for restitution.
       ``(g) Receivers.--
       ``(1) In general.--A court issuing an order under this 
     section may appoint a receiver under section 1956(b)(4) to 
     collect, marshal, and take custody, control, and possession 
     of all assets of the defendant, wherever located, that have 
     been restrained in accordance with this section.
       ``(2) Distribution of property.--The receiver shall have 
     the power to distribute property in its control to each 
     victim identified in an order of restitution at such time, 
     and in such manner, as the court may authorize.''.
