AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent the imposition of mandatory minimum sentences based on juvenile adjudications. Specifically, it amends existing laws to remove references to juvenile adjudications being used as prior convictions that can trigger enhanced sentences for adults or juveniles. Additionally, the bill requires resentencing of any person currently serving a sentence where a juvenile adjudication was used as a prior predicate conviction, ensuring the sentence does not increase in length of committed time, probation, or parole.
