Criminal Procedure - Incarcerated Seniors - Motion to Reduce the Duration of a Sentence

SB 141 allows incarcerated individuals aged 60+ who have served 20+ years to file a motion requesting a reduced sentence. The court must hold a hearing (with options for video attendance) and consider specific factors like the person’s age, rehabilitation efforts, completion of educational programs, and whether they pose no public safety risk. A sentence reduction is only permitted if the court determines the individual isn’t a danger to the public and reducing the sentence better serves justice. The bill applies to current sentences and consecutive terms, requiring courts to document their reasoning based on the 10 listed factors before granting relief.
