This bill, based on Maryland's Juvenile Restoration Act, provides for modifications in the sentencing of juveniles convicted as adults, including:
1. Allowing the court to impose a sentence that is less than the minimum term required by law;
2. Prohibiting the sentence of life without the possibility of early release; and
3. For juveniles convicted as adults who were sentenced prior to October 1, 2023 and who have been imprisoned for at least 20 years, providing an opportunity to request a sentence reduction, even if the original motion for modification of sentence was denied.
