Adds state legislators as voting members of the sentencing guidelines commission.
The bill amends the composition of the sentencing guidelines commission to include four state legislators as voting members. These legislators, appointed by the speaker of the house and the senate president, represent the two largest caucuses in each house. The commission, which advises the governor and legislature on sentencing issues, already includes various officials and experts from law enforcement, judiciary, and public sectors. The addition of legislators aims to ensure broader representation and expertise in the commission's work.
