MI HB4761

Allows prosecutors to seek life without parole sentences for defendants who were 18, 19, or 20 years old when committing certain serious offenses, including first-degree murder, terrorism, and violations involving explosives or causing death

Applies both to new convictions and retroactively to defendants already convicted before the law takes effect, with prosecutors having 42 days (new cases) or 360 days (existing cases) to file motions seeking life without parole

Requires courts to hold sentencing hearings considering factors from Miller v Alabama, including aggravating and mitigating circumstances, and the defendant's record while incarcerated

If life without parole is not imposed, courts must sentence defendants to a minimum of 25-40 years and a maximum of at least 60 years imprisonment

Establishes priority order for resentencing hearings, with defendants who have served 25+ years heard first, and requires credit for time already served
