AI Summary

This bill prohibits sentencing an individual who was less than 18 years of age when the crime was committed to imprisonment for life without parole eligibility. The bill amends sections 1 and 1b of Chapter IX of the Code of Criminal Procedure to remove the provision that allows a court to sentence a juvenile convicted of certain serious crimes in the same manner as an adult, including imposing a sentence of life without parole. The bill also repeals sections 25 and 25a of Chapter IX, which previously allowed for such sentences. This bill is tied to three other Senate bills (SB 0851'22, SB 0849'22, SB 0848'22).
