AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent the imposition of mandatory minimum sentences based on juvenile adjudications. It amends the existing law to clarify that juvenile adjudications, including those from other jurisdictions, shall not be considered prior convictions that trigger enhanced sentences for adults. The bill also requires the resentencing of any person currently serving a sentence where a juvenile adjudication was used as a prior conviction, ensuring that the sentence is not increased in length.
