HB 1279 -- ELIGIBILITY FOR EARLY RELEASE

SPONSOR: Plank

Any person who is serving a sentence for a marijuana-related offense can petition the sentencing court to vacate the sentence and order immediate release from incarceration and other supervision by the Department of Corrections. When the petitioner is serving a sentence only for a marijuana-related offense or offenses, the Department of Corrections must immediately release the person from custody and supervision.

This bill is the same as HB 504 (2023).
