Establishes mitigating factor for sentencing of defendants who are victims of domestic violence and provides for resentencing and trauma-informed reentry support services.
This bill adds a new factor for judges to consider when sentencing: whether the defendant was a victim of domestic violence that contributed to their crime. If this factor is found, judges can impose a lesser sentence than originally planned. The bill also allows individuals currently serving long sentences for crimes committed before this law took effect to apply for resentencing if they meet certain criteria, including proving they were victims of domestic violence. Finally, it establishes support services for those who receive a new sentence or are released, focusing on trauma-informed reentry assistance.
