Report from State Circle
RSC Issue:
2 To date, there is no legislation specific to mandatory minimum sentencing. However, HB 473 Truth in Sentencing Task Force (Simmons and Kramer) creates a task force that could potentially address that issue. It would be charged with examining state laws relating to sentencing, the diminution of sentences (early release), and parole.
