Act 143, on 06/24/2026 (Gov. Msg. No. 1244).
Jun 24, 2026
Summary
The new law caps the prison term for non‑violent offenses that were previously punishable by up to one year at 364 days, and sets a 30‑day cap for petty misdemeanors. It also permits anyone sentenced to a non‑violent misdemeanor before the law took effect to ask the trial court to reduce their sentence to the new maximum. The change is intended to make punishments for low‑level crimes more proportionate.
