Crime Control Act of 1992 - Title I: Death Penalty - Federal Death Penalty Act of 1992 - Amends the Federal criminal code to establish criteria for the imposition of the death penalty for Federal crimes. Requires the Government, for any offense punishable by death, to serve notice upon the defendant a reasonable time before trial or acceptance of a plea, or at such time thereafter as the court may permit upon a showing of good cause, that it intends to seek the death penalty and the aggravating factors upon which it will rely. Requires a separate sentencing hearing before a jury, or the court upon motion by the defendant, when the defendant is found guilty or pleads guilty to an offense punishable by death. Allows the defendant and the Government to present any information relevant to sentencing, without regard to the rules of evidence, but permits evidence to be excluded where its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of creating unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, or misleading the jury. Permits the Government to present information concerning the effect of the offense on the victim and the victim's family, including oral testimony, a victim impact statement, and other relevant information. Specifies mitigating factors which the defendant must establish by a preponderance of the information and aggravating factors which the Government must provide beyond a reasonable doubt. Sets forth special aggravating factors for: (1) treason, espionage, homicide, and the attempted murder of the President; and (2) drug offenses punishable by the death penalty (such factors include previous serious drug felony convictions, use of a firearm in committing or furthering certain continuing criminal enterprises, use of minors in trafficking, and lethal adulteration of controlled substances). Directs the court, or the jury by unanimous vote, to recommend the death penalty upon a finding of at least one aggravating factor and no mitigating factor, or one or more aggravating factors which outweigh any mitigating factors. States that no person who was under 18 years of age at the time of the offense or who is mentally retarded may be sentenced to death. Requires the court to instruct the jury not to consider the race, color, religion, national origin, or sex of the defendant or victim in its consideration of the sentence. Establishes procedures for appeal from a death sentence. Requires the court of appeals, upon consideration of the record and the information and procedures of the sentencing hearing, to affirm the decision if: (1) the sentence was not imposed under the influence of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor; (2) the information supports the finding of aggravating factors; and (3) the proceedings did not involve any other prejudicial error requiring reversal of the sentence that was properly preserved for and raised on appeal. Specifies that the court of appeals, in a case in which the sentence is not affirmed, shall remand the case for reconsideration or for imposition of another authorized sentence as appropriate, subject to specified requirements. Requires the court to provide a written explanation of its determination. Sets forth procedures for the implementation of a sentence of death. Prohibits a sentence of death from being carried out upon a person who lacks the mental capacity to understand the death penalty and why it was imposed on that person, or upon a woman while she is pregnant. Prohibits requiring any employee of any State department of corrections, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), the U.S. Marshals Service, or any employee providing services to that department, bureau, or service under contract to be in attendance or to participate in any execution if such participation is contrary to such employee's moral or religious convictions. Provides for the appointment of counsel in Federal cases where a defendant against whom a sentence of death is sought, or on whom such sentence has been imposed, for an offense against the United States, is or becomes financially unable to obtain adequate representation. Sets forth additional provisions with respect to: (1) representation before and after review of judgment; (2) standards for competence of counsel; and (3) claims of ineffectiveness of counsel.

Title II: Habeas Corpus Reform - Subtitle A: General Habeas Corpus Reform - Habeas Corpus Reform Act of 1992 - Amends the Federal judicial code to establish a one-year statute of limitations for habeas corpus actions brought by State prisoners. Vests authority to issue certificates for probable cause for appeal of habeas corpus orders exclusively in the courts of appeals. Permits denial on the merits of habeas corpus writs notwithstanding the failure to exhaust State remedies. Prohibits the granting of a petition for habeas corpus with respect to any claim which has been fully and fairly adjudicated in State proceedings. Sets forth provisions with respect to the appointment of counsel. Subtitle B: Death Penalty Litigation Procedures - Death Penalty Litigation Procedures Act of 1992 - Amends the Federal judicial code to set forth special habeas corpus procedures in capital cases. Applies such procedures to Federal habeas corpus cases brought by prisoners in State custody who are subject to a capital sentence. Makes the applicability of such procedures contingent upon a State establishing a mechanism for the appointment, compensation, and payment of reasonable litigation expenses of competent counsel in State post-conviction proceedings brought by indigent prisoners whose capital convictions and sentences have been upheld on direct appeal to the court of last resort in the State or have otherwise become final for State law purposes. States that the rule of court on statutes establishing such mechanism must provide standards of competency for the appointment of such counsel. Specifies that any such mechanism must offer counsel to all State prisoners under capital sentence and must provide for the entry of an order by a court of record: (1) appointing counsel to represent the prisoner upon a specified finding; (2) finding that the prisoner has rejected the offer of counsel and made the decision with an understanding of its legal consequences; or (3) denying the appointment of counsel upon a finding that the prisoner is not indigent. Provides for a mandatory stay of execution during the post-conviction review initiated pursuant to this Act. Details conditions which will cause such stay to expire. Prohibits a Federal court, if one of such conditions has occurred, from entering a stay of execution or granting relief in a capital case unless: (1) the basis for the stay and request for relief is a claim not previously presented in the State or Federal courts; (2) the failure to raise the claim was the result of State action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States, was the result of a recognition by the Supreme Court of a new Federal right that is retroactively applicable, or is due to the fact that the claim is based on facts that could not have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable diligence in time to present the claim for State or Federal post-conviction review; and (3) the facts underlying the claim would be sufficient, if proven, to undermine the court's confidence in the jury's determination of guilt of the offense for which the death penalty was imposed. Imposes time limits on filing for habeas corpus relief. Requires such time limits to be tolled under specified conditions. Requires the district court, upon the development of a complete evidentiary record, to rule on the merits of the claims properly before it. Makes the requirement for a certificate of probable cause inapplicable, with exceptions, where: (1) a second or successive petition is filed; and (2) certain requirements under a unitary review procedure (i.e., a State procedure that authorizes a person under sentence of death to raise, in the course of direct review of judgment, such claims as could be raised on collateral attack) are met. Sets forth time limits for determining petitions. Specifies that the adjudication of petitions or motions involving habeas corpus in capital cases shall be granted priority by the district court and court of appeals over all noncapital matters. Directs the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts to report annually to the Congress on court compliance with the time limits established under this subtitle. Subtitle C: Equalization of Capital Habeas Corpus Litigation Funding - Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (Omnibus Act) to require the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to provide grants to the States to support litigation pertaining to Federal habeas corpus petitions in capital cases. Specifies that the total funding available for such grants within any fiscal year shall be equal to the funding provided to capital resource centers, pursuant to Federal appropriation, in the same fiscal year. Title III: Exclusionary Rule - Amends the Federal criminal code to provide that evidence obtained as a result of a search or seizure shall not be excluded in a court of the United States as being in violation of the fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution if such search or seizure was carried out in circumstances justifying an objectively reasonable belief that it was in conformity with the fourth amendment. Makes the fact that evidence was obtained pursuant to and within the scope of a warrant prima facie evidence of the existence of such circumstances. Bars the exclusion of evidence in such a proceeding on the ground that it was obtained in violation of a statute, administrative rule or regulation, or rule of procedure unless exclusion is expressly authorized by statute or by rule prescribed by the Supreme Court pursuant to statutory authority. Title IV: Firearms and Related Amendments - Revises firearms-related provisions to establish the following penalties, in addition to the punishment provided for the underlying crime, for engaging in specified activities during and in relation to a crime of violence or drug trafficking crime for which the perpetrator may be prosecuted in a State court. Provides that whoever: (1) knowingly uses, carries, or otherwise possesses a firearm shall be sentenced to imprisonment for ten years; (2) discharges a firearm with intent to injure another person shall be sentenced to imprisonment for 20 years; or (3) knowingly uses, carries, or otherwise possesses a firearm that is a machine gun or destructive device or is equipped with a firearm silencer or muffler shall be sentenced to imprisonment for 30 years. Sets penalties for second, third, and subsequent convictions. Specifies that a term of imprisonment under such provision shall run concurrently with any other term of imprisonment imposed for the underlying crime. Sets forth penalties for smuggling firearms in aid of drug trafficking and for theft of firearms and explosives. Increases penalties for making knowingly false, material statements in connection with the acquisition of a firearm from a licensed dealer. Authorizes the summary destruction of explosives subject to forfeiture under specified circumstances. Sets forth requirements for reimbursement of the value of destroyed property. Makes persons sentenced under enhanced penalty provisions related to the use of firearms or destructive devices during and in relation to a crime of violence or drug trafficking crime ineligible for parole during the term of imprisonment imposed under such provisions. Provides enhanced penalties for the use of a firearm in the commission of counterfeiting or forgery. Provides for a mandatory five-year penalty for firearms possession by violent felons and serious drug offenders, and a ten- to twenty-year penalty (or fine, or both) in cases of two previous convictions for a violent felony or a serious drug offense committed on different occasions. Bars the court from suspending the sentence of, or granting a probationary sentence to, such persons with two prior convictions. Prohibits the transfer of firearms to non-residents of the State in which the transferor resides, unless such receipt is for lawful sporting purposes. Subjects individuals who conspire to commit a firearms or explosives offense to the same penalties as those prescribed for the underlying offense. Provides for a fine or up to ten years imprisonment, or both, for stealing a firearm or explosive from specified individuals, such as a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer. Makes it unlawful for any person (current law specifies licensee) to distribute explosive materials to specified classes of individuals. Increases penalties for interstate gun trafficking. Prohibits: (1) the possession of explosives by felons and specified others; and (2) transactions involving stolen firearms which have moved in interstate or foreign commerce. Establishes penalties for possessing (current law covers only using and carrying) an explosive during the commission of a felony. Provides for 20 years imprisonment for using, carrying, or possessing an explosive, in the case of a second or subsequent conviction. Amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding the disposition of forfeited firearms. Revises the definition of: (1) "serious drug offense" under the Federal criminal code (to include an offense under State law that, if it had been prosecuted as a CSA violation as that Act provided at the time of the offense, would have been punishable by a maximum term of ten years or more); and (2) "burglary" under the Armed Career Criminal Statute (to mean a crime that consists of entering or remaining surreptitiously within a building that is the property of another person with intent to engage in conduct constituting a Federal or State offense and that is punishable by one year's imprisonment). Title V: Juveniles and Gangs - Subtitle A: Increased Penalties for Employing Children to Distribute Drugs Near Schools and Playgrounds - Amends the CSA to increase the penalty for employing, using, inducing, or coercing individuals under age 18 to violate provisions of such Act, or to assist in avoiding detection or apprehension for certain offenses under such Act by Federal, State, or local law enforcement officials.

Limits the number of aliens and members of their immediate families entering the United States under such authority to 200 persons in any single fiscal year. Makes the decision to grant or deny permanent resident status under this Act at the discretion of the Attorney General and not subject to judicial review.

Specifies that the Attorney General's determination is not subject to judicial review. Authorizes the Attorney General, in the course of enforcement of such provision, to request assistance from any Federal, State, local, or foreign agency. Permits in the exercise of comity, the surrender of persons who have committed crimes of violence against U.S. nationals in foreign countries without regard to the existence of any extradition treaty with such foreign government if the Attorney General certifies that: (1) evidence has been presented by such foreign government which indicates that had the offenses been committed in the United States they would constitute crimes of violence; and (2) the offense charged are not of a political nature.

Requires that the House and Senate Judiciary Committees be informed regarding all such requests for certification. (Current law authorizes the Director or his designee to request telephone toll and transactional records upon written certification to the provider that the information sought is relevant to an authorized foreign counterintelligence investigation and there are specific and articulable facts giving reason to believe that the person is a foreign power or foreign agent.) Title VII: Sexual Violence, Child Abuse, and Victims' Rights - Subtitle A: Sexual Violence and Child Abuse - Amends the Federal criminal code to include within the definition of "sexual act" the intentional touching, not through the clothing, of the genitalia of another person who has not attained the age of 16 with intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.

Requires a judicial officer, at the time of the pretrial release determination, to include in any order a requirement that the defendant be tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and that follow-up tests for the virus be performed six and 12 months thereafter, unless the judicial officer determines that the defendant's conduct created no risk of transmission of the virus to the victim. Sets forth additional requirements with respect to HIV testing and disclosure of test results. Directs the Sentencing Commission to amend the sentencing guidelines to enhance the sentence of a sex offender if such offender knew or had reason to know that the offender was infected with HIV, except where the offender did not engage or attempt to engage in conduct creating a risk of transmission of the virus to the victim. Amends the Victims' Rights and Restitution Act of 1990 to require the Attorney General or the head of another department or agency that conducts an investigation of a sexual assault to pay the cost of up to two tests of the victim for HIV during the 12 months following the assault. Subtitle B: Victims' Rights - Authorizes the court to: (1) order that the defendant reimburse the victim for necessary child care, transportation, and other expenses related to participation in the investigation or prosecution of, or attendance at proceedings related to, the offense; and (2) suspend the defendant's eligibility for all Federal benefits (after a hearing, if the defendant is delinquent in making restitution) until such time as the defendant demonstrates to the court good-faith efforts to return to any required schedule of payments or requirement of immediate payment. Amends the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to authorize the court: (1) before imposing sentence for a crime of violence or sexual abuse, to address the victim personally if the victim is present at the sentencing hearing and determine if the victim wishes to make a statement and present any information in relation to the sentence; and (2) upon a motion that is filed jointly by the defendant and the attorney for the Government, to hear in camera such a statement by the victim.

(Current law provides a complex formula for the distribution of funds depending on the amount deposited in the Fund.) Authorizes the Director of the Office for Victims of Crime to retain any amount in excess of 110 percent of the total deposited in the previous fiscal year as a reserve for those years in which there is a shortfall in the Fund, provided that the reserve does not exceed $20,000,000.

Makes biannual reports under such Act due on May 31 (currently, such reports are due December 31). Requires grantees to certify that no grant funds will be used to supplant State and local funds, but rather will supplement those otherwise available funds. Delays the effective date for specified provisions to make the allocations required by such provisions without reducing the funding levels of programs supported by the Victim Assistance Fund and the Victims Compensation Fund.
