Authorizes courts to reduce or modify sentences for certain felony convictions deemed excessive.

This bill amends the criminal procedure law to allow courts to reduce or modify sentences for individuals convicted of a felony if the sentence is deemed greater than necessary to achieve the purposes of sentencing. Eligible individuals include those convicted by plea or verdict of a felony offense or those who have appealed their sentence. The court must consider factors such as age, medical condition, institutional record, and participation in rehabilitation programs. The court may also consider statistical evidence of excessiveness compared to other sentences for the same crime.
