Summary

The bill changes California’s three‑strikes sentencing rules so that a juvenile adjudication or any conviction committed before a person turns 18 cannot be used as a prior serious or violent felony. It also creates a new petition process for people already sentenced under those enhancements to have the enhancement removed and be resentenced. The measure failed to pass and died on an inactive file.
