#TeamJustice & partners are advocating you to SUPPORT SB483 in this 2021 legislative cycle.
Bill Summary:
SB483 will address systemic racial bias in sentencing. The current law requires a sentencing court to impose an additional one-year term for each prior separate prison term or county jail felony term served by the defendant for a nonviolent felony and additional 3-years for those convicted of specified crimes relating to controlled substances. This bill would declare an enhancement imposed pursuant to one of these prior provisions to be legally invalid and retroactively applied to all currently serving sentences under the repealed sentencing enhancements.
