A bill for an act relating to parole eligibility for a person under the age of twenty-one convicted of a class “A” felony and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The bill amends Iowa statutes so that youths up to age 21, not just those under 18, can receive the same sentencing options for first‑degree murder and other class “A” felonies. It updates the law to allow life without parole (unless commuted), life with parole after a court‑set minimum term, or life with parole. This broadens the age range for which these sentencing categories apply.
