Bill > SB1275

This bill allows judges to deviate from mandatory prison sentences for certain offenses if they find that imposing the mandatory sentence would be unjust, unnecessary for public protection, and the defendant has a mental health condition related to their military service or their work as a first responder, which includes peace officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and tribal police officers. However, this flexibility does not apply to offenses involving death or serious physical injury, domestic violence, or engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, and judges must explain their reasons for departing from a mandatory sentence.
