The amendments to Bill AB 91 change the eligibility criteria for prisoners seeking a second look review of their sentences. Previously, a prisoner needed to have served at least 25 years of their minimum term, but this has now been reduced to just 10 years. This change matters because it potentially allows more imprisoned individuals to have their cases reviewed and possibly gain early release, which could impact prison populations and rehabilitation efforts.
