AL HB29

Allows individuals sentenced under Alabama's habitual felony offender law to file a motion for sentence reduction beginning October 1, 2024, if they meet eligibility criteria.

Excludes individuals convicted of homicide, sex offenses, or offenses causing serious physical injury from eligibility for resentencing.

Requires courts to consider factors including the underlying offense, conduct in prison, the individual's age and likelihood of rehabilitation, availability of re-entry programs, and whether a firearm was used.

Mandates victim notification at least 30 days before any hearing and requires judges to give considerable weight to victim objections.

Automatically repeals this provision on October 1, 2029, creating a five-year window for resentencing motions.
