This bill proposes to revise sentencing standards in certain circumstances, repeal the habitual felony offender act, and provide for resentencing of defendants whose sentences were based on the habitual felony offender act. Specifically, it adds a new section 13A-5-14 to the Code of Alabama, repeals sections 13A-5-9 and 13A-5-10 relating to the habitual felony offender act, and amends several other sections of the code related to sentencing and driving under the influence offenses. The bill also provides for the resentencing of defendants currently serving sentences imposed under the habitual felony offender act.
