Modifying the definition of persistent offender to exclude convictions for offenses committed by someone under the age of 18 and providing for.

The bill modifies the definition of a persistent offender to exclude convictions for offenses committed by someone under the age of 18. It mandates resentencing for individuals currently incarcerated for offenses committed as juveniles, ensuring they are not classified as most serious offenses. The resentencing process requires the court to sentence the person as if the juvenile conviction was not a most serious offense. The bill applies retroactively to those already incarcerated for juvenile offenses.
