Allows minors convicted of crimes to petition for early release after 20 years.

The Youth Hope Act allows individuals convicted of crimes before their 18th birthday to petition for early release after serving at least 20 years. The Indeterminate Sentence Review Board assesses petitions and may order release if the individual has not committed a serious infraction in the 12 months prior to filing. The Department of Corrections may provide rental vouchers for housing assistance. The act prioritizes victim and survivor input and limits the number of petitions reviewed to 70 per year. The act expires on July 1, 2035.
