Bill > HB29

This bill proposes to allow individuals serving life sentences without parole who were convicted under Alabama's habitual felony offender law prior to May 26, 2000, and who were not convicted of homicide, sex offenses, or offenses causing serious physical injury, to file a motion for a reduced sentence. The motion would be heard by the original sentencing judge or a designated judge, and the court would consider various factors, such as the individual's conduct in prison, age, and likelihood of successful reentry. The victim would have the right to be heard, and the district attorney would be notified. The bill sets a deadline of October 1, 2024, for filing such motions, and would be repealed on October 1, 2029.
