21(2c), 973.01 and 973.014 (1g) of the statutes;
relating to: sentences for felony
22offenses, parole, extended supervision, creating a criminal code study
1committee, granting rule-making authority, making an appropriation and
2providing penalties.
1. The total length of the bifurcated sentence may not exceed the maximum
term of imprisonment allowable for the felony.
2. The court must set the term of confinement in prison portion of the sentence
to be at least one year but not more than 40 years for a Class B felony, 20 years for
a Class BC felony, 10 years for a Class C felony, 5 years for a Class D felony or 2 years
for a Class E felony. If the person is being sentenced for a felony that is not in one
of these classes, the term of confinement in prison portion of the sentence must be
at least one year but not more than 75% of the total length of the bifurcated sentence.
3. The term of extended supervision must equal at least 25% of the length of
the term of confinement in prison.
Under current law, a person serving a life sentence usually must serve 20 years
minus time calculated under the mandatory release formula before he or she is
eligible for release on parole. If the person does not receive extensions due to
violations of prison rules, he or she reaches parole eligibility after serving 13 years
and 4 months. However, a judge may set a parole eligibility date for a person serving
a life sentence that is later than the usual parole eligibility date or may provide that
the person is not eligible for parole. Also, if a person has 2 convictions for any of
certain serious felonies and is then convicted a 3rd time for another serious felony,
he or she must be sentenced to life without parole (the so-called "3 strikes, you're out"
law). No person serving a life sentence is entitled to mandatory release.
Under the bill, the committee is required to study the classification of criminal
offenses in the criminal code, the penalties for all felonies and issues relating to the
implementation of the changes made in this bill relating to the structure of sentences
for felony offenses. The committee must also make recommendations concerning all
of the following: 1) creating a sentencing commission to promulgate sentencing
guidelines for use by judges when imposing sentence under the new felony
sentencing structure created in this bill; 2) changing the administrative rules of the
department of corrections to ensure that a person is returned to prison promptly and
for an appropriate period of time if he or she violates a condition of extended
supervision; and 3) creating a uniform classification system for all felonies, including
felonies outside of the criminal code, classifying every felony in a manner that places
crimes of similar severity into the same classification and consolidating all felonies
into a single criminal code.
Finally, the bill requires the committee to submit a report of its findings and
recommendations to the legislature and to the governor no later than March 1, 1999.
The committee's report must include any proposed legislation that is necessary to
implement the recommendations made by the committee in its report.
