Criminal procedure; authorizing district attorneys to adjust sentences; effective date.

Summary

The law lets district attorneys start a proceeding to reduce a defendant’s sentence after sentencing, and lets courts change sentences within 60 months if public safety is not jeopardized. It requires the prosecutor to seek input from victims, give them notice of hearings, and consider their testimony. Increases in confinement or supervision are prohibited, and the rule does not apply to death sentences, life without parole, or sex‑offender registration offenses.
