Ends mandatory life without parole for individuals aged 21-25 and 364 days.
The bill proposes to end mandatory life without the possibility of parole for individuals aged 21-25 and 364 days. It cites scientific research on brain development to argue that young adults in this age range have incomplete development of impulse control and risk assessment. The bill also references studies showing that individuals of color face harsher treatment in the criminal justice system. It mandates parole eligibility for those currently serving such sentences and for future sentencing determinations.
