Modification of sentencing guidelines; new sentencing proceeding. Creates a mechanism for a person incarcerated for a felony offense to petition for a new sentencing hearing if the sentencing guidelines for the offense have been modified subsequent to the date of the person's conviction and the sentence indicated by the current guidelines is less than the sentence indicated by the guidelines in effect at the time of the conviction. The bill provides that the petition is to be filed with the circuit court that entered the judgment order of conviction, which shall conduct a new sentencing proceeding. Any sentence imposed as a result of this proceeding may not exceed the sentence originally imposed.

Sentencing guidelines; modification, new sentencing proceeding.
