Establishes provisions relating to the reduction of certain criminal sentences of imprisonment
HB 1151 allows courts to reduce life sentences without parole or 30+ year prison terms to life with parole eligibility for offenders who were under 20 when convicted and have served at least 30 years. To qualify, offenders must prove rehabilitation (e.g., completing treatment or education programs) and demonstrate good conduct in prison. The bill requires applicants to submit five correctional staff statements, 20 community support letters, and a housing plan before parole board consideration. If approved, parole supervision continues for the offender’s natural life.
