First Step Implementation Act of 2025

The First Step Implementation Act of 2025 makes significant changes to sentencing and corrections policies. It modifies drug sentencing by expanding the definition of "serious drug felony or serious violent felony" and creates a process for courts to reduce sentences for people convicted as adults for crimes committed before age 18. The bill also establishes automatic sealing of juvenile nonviolent offense records after 3 years of clean record and provides procedures for expunging certain juvenile records upon reaching age 18. Additionally, it requires the Attorney General to correct inaccurate or incomplete criminal records and gives individuals the right to challenge the accuracy of their records. These provisions primarily affect individuals with juvenile records or those convicted of drug offenses under previous sentencing guidelines.
