Sentencing. Lists certain offenses committed before July 1, 2014, that provides an inmate relief from the inmate's sentence. Reduces the number of consecutive years that an inmate must be confined to the custody of the department, for an offense committed before July 1, 2014, before the department identifies the inmate to the parole board and provides the parole board with the inmate's offender progress report. Provides that upon recommendation by the warden, the parole board may consider certain factors and discharge an inmate and require that the inmate receive post-incarceration reentry services if the sentence an inmate has served, including credit time earned or accrued, for an offense committed before July 1, 2014, is at least 75% of the current advisory sentence for the offense on the date the inmate files for a petition for discharge. Provides that if an inmate has served a sentence for an offense committed before July 1, 2014, that meets or exceeds 75% of the maximum sentence for the same offense that the inmate is currently seeking relief for, the parole board may discharge and release the inmate from the inmate's entire sentence.
