AI Summary
This bill allows for the resentencing of individuals who were sentenced as persistent offenders due to a conviction for robbery in the second degree. It requires the prosecuting attorney to review sentencing documents and file a motion for resentencing if a second-degree robbery conviction was used as the basis for a persistent offender finding. The court must then resentence the individual as if second-degree robbery was not considered a "most serious offense" at the time of the original sentence. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to specify that second-degree robbery shall not be considered a "most serious offense" for the purposes of sentencing individuals as persistent offenders, regardless of when the offense was committed.
