An act relating to eliminating life without parole

This bill proposes to eliminate life without parole as a sentencing option for individuals who were 25 years of age or younger when they committed their offenses. It also prohibits consecutive sentencing for these younger defendants, meaning their prison terms would run at the same time rather than one after another. For those who were 25 or older at the time of the crime, the bill maintains existing sentencing options including life without parole. The law applies only to crimes committed on or after the bill's effective date, and it modifies how courts determine minimum prison terms based on aggravating or mitigating factors found by a jury.
