Allows eligible offenders to petition for resentencing if the original sentence no longer serves justice.
Illinois HB4325 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to allow eligible offenders to petition for resentencing if the original sentence no longer serves justice. Eligible offenders must have been originally sentenced to 10 or more years for a non-violent crime, participated in rehabilitation programs, served at least 24 months, and maintained good conduct. The court has six months to respond to the petition. The resentencing aims to ensure the original sentence's purposes of punishment, rehabilitation, and restorative justice are achieved.
