AN ACT relating to sentencing.

This bill would change Kentucky's sentencing rules by removing the current limit on how long consecutive prison terms can be when sentences are "indeterminate," meaning the exact release date is not fixed in advance. Under current law, there is a cap on how long these stacked sentences can run together; this bill would eliminate that cap, allowing judges to impose longer combined sentences. Who it may affect: people convicted of crimes in Kentucky, defense attorneys, and prosecutors involved in criminal sentencing.
