Authorizing certain inmates in the custody of the secretary of corrections to petition the court for a resentencing hearing.

Summary

The bill lets certain prisoners file a verified petition for a resentencing hearing after a set number of years, based on age, veteran status, completion of required programs, or a new law that would have reduced their sentence. A court could then lower, modify, or end the sentence, but it cannot change any mandatory minimum term. The measure failed, dying in committee.
