What’s in it

This bill allows a court to sentence a person to less than the minimum sentence described in Code section 902.12 for certain felonies if the person was either years of age or younger at the time of the commission of the offense or had not previously been convicted of a forcible felony as defined in Code section 702.11 at the time of the commission of the offense. The bill makes conforming Code changes. “Forcible felony” means any felonious child endangerment, assault, murder, sexual abuse, kidnapping, robbery, human trafficking, arson in the first degree, or burglary in the first degree.
