From Governor Murphy’s Facebook page earlier.

I just signed meaningful sentencing reform legislation that:

⚖️Establishes a compassionate release program for certain inmates

⚖️Adds a defendant’s youth to the list of permissible mitigating factors a court may consider when sentencing a defendant

⚖️More: nj.gov/governor/news/news/562020/approved/20201019d.shtml

I urge the passage of the remainder of the bill package:

⚖️Eliminating certain mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment

⚖️Allowing the mandatory minimum reforms to apply retroactively

⚖️Allowing for the resentencing of some inmates
