WI AB895

Creates a sentence adjustment procedure allowing incarcerated "youthful offenders" (those who committed crimes before age 18) to petition for sentence reduction after serving 15 years in prison, or 20 years for felonies causing death or felony child sexual assault

Prohibits courts from sentencing youthful offenders to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or release to extended supervision, eliminating mandatory life-without-parole sentences for this population

Requires courts to consider 15 specific mitigating factors when sentencing youthful offenders, including age at offense, impetuosity, family environment, intellectual capacity, trauma history, and capacity for rehabilitation

Mandates the Department of Corrections notify eligible youthful offenders one year before their petition eligibility date and requires courts to hold hearings within 120 days of petition filing, with victims receiving notice and opportunity to provide statements

Applies retroactively to currently incarcerated youthful offenders, with DOC required to notify all eligible individuals within 6 months of the law's effective date
