Criminal procedure: sentencing; resentencing upon petition of certain prisoners; provide process for. Amends secs. 12 & 25, ch. IX of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 769.12 & 769.25) & adds secs. 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d, 27e, 27f, 27g & 27h to ch. IX.

This bill modifies Michigan's sentencing laws to allow certain prisoners convicted of multiple felonies to petition the court for a review of their sentences. It establishes a formal process for these individuals to request resentencing, which would require a judge to evaluate whether their current punishment remains appropriate under current legal standards. The legislation specifically targets those sentenced under the state's habitual offender provisions and creates new sections in the criminal procedure code to govern this review mechanism. By adding these new procedures, the bill aims to provide a legal pathway for eligible inmates to seek a reduction in their prison terms without changing the underlying laws that led to their original convictions.
