Bill > HB2490

This bill authorizes an early evaluation hearing after 5 years for individuals who receive a suspended sentence or split sentence exceeding 5 years for certain non-violent offenses. The court may modify the length of the sentence if the person has completed probation requirements, had no criminal violations, and the district attorney does not object. The bill also allows for an earlier hearing if the person has achieved certain educational or employment milestones. The bill requires written notice to the district attorney and allows for a 15-day extension for the district attorney to respond. The bill prohibits prohibiting early evaluation hearings as a condition of a plea agreement or sentence, and requires the District Attorneys Council to provide a list of early termination applications and any objections upon request by certain legislative or executive officials. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2024.
