Permits retroactive modification of certain judgments of conviction; requires study of DOC's anticipated expenses to upgrade data infrastructure.
This bill allows courts to retroactively reduce mandatory parole ineligibility periods for certain inmates convicted of specific drug and theft offenses before the bill's effective date. It applies to people sentenced under 11 listed offenses, including drug distribution, cargo theft, shoplifting, and certain school-related drug crimes. The process requires the Corrections Department to identify eligible inmates, prosecutors to get Attorney General approval before objecting to sentence changes, and courts to decide based on public safety risks if objections are filed. Inmates without objections receive automatic sentence adjustments without hearings, while objections trigger a hearing to assess public safety concerns.
