Eligibility for relief includes being convicted of a felony, serving a certain portion of the sentence, and not serving the minimum sentence. The court considers factors such as rehabilitation, punishment, deterrence, and public safety. The procedure applies to offenses committed before, on, or after the bill's passage.
