General SummaryThe U.S. Code is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. While every effort has been made to ensure that this reproduction of the Code is accurate, those using it for legal purposes should verify their results against the printed version of the Code available through the Government Printing Office.
Rule 59. Effective Date
These rules take effect on the day which is 3 months subsequent to the adjournment of the first regular session of the 79th Congress, but if that day is prior to September 1, 1945, then they take effect on September 1, 1945. They govern all criminal proceedings thereafter commenced and so far as just and practicable all proceedings then pending.
Notes of Advisory Committee on Rules—1944
This rule is based on Act of June 29, 1940 (54 Stat. 688; 18 U.S.C. 687 [now 3771]). It is substantially the same as Rule 86 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure [28 U.S.C., Appendix].
Effective Date of 1966 Amendments; Transmission to Congress; Rescission
Sections 2 to 4 of Order of the Supreme Court dated February 26, 1966, provided:
"2. That the foregoing amendments and additions to the Rules of Criminal Procedure shall take effect on July 1, 1966, and shall govern all criminal proceedings thereafter commenced and so far as just and practicable all proceedings then pending.
"3. That the Chief Justice be, and he hereby is, authorized to transmit to the Congress the foregoing amendments and additions to the Rules of Criminal Procedure in accordance with the provisions of title 18, U.S.C., section 3771.
