Post-Conviction Relief for Certain Offenders

Summary

The bill lets older prisoners who have spent decades behind bars ask a court to shorten their sentences if they can show they are no longer a danger. It provides appointed counsel, a one‑time evidentiary hearing, and requires the state to notify victims. The measure aims to reduce costs, improve prison health care, and give low‑risk offenders a chance at release.
