This bill authorizes a sentencing court to reduce a sentence of life without eligibility for probation or parole or reduce a sentence of 30 years or more to a sentence of life with eligibility for probation or parole if the convicted person has served at least 30 years, was under 20 years of age at the time of the offense, has made reasonable efforts toward rehabilitation, and has exhibited model citizen behavior within the correctional facility.
The offender is required to provide a variety of material to the parole board to be eligible for supervised release as a condition of parole, as provided in the bill.
The division of probation and parole will supervise any convicted person receiving a reduction of sentence under the provisions of this bill for the duration of the convicted person's natural life.
This bill is the same as SB 582 (2025).
