AZ SB1732

Establishes that courts must reduce sentences for defendants who were under 18 when they committed offenses, were sentenced to more than 15 years, and have completed at least 15 years of their sentence, unless the court finds they pose a threat to public safety after a hearing.

Requires defendants to file a motion with the sentencing court and mandates the court hold a hearing within 90 days; creates a presumption that defendants shall receive a sentence reduction unless the state proves they are a public safety threat.

Lists ten mitigating factors courts must consider when determining public safety threat and reduction length, including defendant's age at offense, rehabilitation efforts, family circumstances, juvenile culpability, and role of adults in the offense.

Requires courts to issue written rulings within 30 days stating reasons for granting or denying the motion and the weight given to each factor; denies courts the ability to impose indefinite sentences or natural life sentences when resentencing.

Allows defendants to file another motion no sooner than two years after denial and permits courts to require prerelease programming, substance abuse treatment, education programs, or reentry programs before release.
