Bill > HB2770

This bill modifies provisions relating to minimum prison terms. It establishes that for offenders with one or two previous felony convictions who are not convicted of a "dangerous felony," the minimum prison term they must serve is 50% of their sentence, with a lower 40% minimum for offenders aged 70 or older. The bill also clarifies and expands the list of offenses subject to the minimum prison term requirements. Additionally, the bill creates a sentencing advisory commission to study sentencing practices and disparities, and allows courts to order various restorative justice methods as part of a suspended sentence. The bill also includes specific provisions regarding the minimum sentences for persistent and predatory sexual offenders.
