Bill overview
This bill would allow prosecutors to seek life without parole sentences for individuals aged 18 to 21 convicted of specific crimes, including certain violent offenses and violations involving the death of another person. It outlines a process for prosecutors to file motions, requires a court hearing to consider aggravating and mitigating factors, and establishes sentencing guidelines if a life without parole sentence isn't pursued. The bill also addresses resentencing procedures for those already serving lengthy prison terms.
