Enables appellate review of the fairness and appropriateness of an imposed criminal sentence

This bill amends state criminal procedure law to require appellate courts to review whether a criminal sentence is illegal or unduly harsh, even if the defendant previously waived their right to appeal. If a court finds a sentence to be illegal or unduly harsh, it must modify the sentence by reversing the sentencing portion while upholding the conviction. This directly affects criminal defendants seeking to challenge the severity of their sentences without being barred by prior waiver agreements. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
