Title
Habitual Offender Act, retroactive application of law after 2000 amendment, provision repealed, Sec. 13A-5-9.1 repealed
Description

Under existing law, the Habitual Offender Act was amended in 2000. The provisions of the amended act were made retroactive in 2001 to persons sentenced under the prior law. Since the 2001 enactment, a convicted person sentenced under the prior law could file a motion in court for a review of his or her sentence. The amended act does not apply to a person sentenced after May 25, 2000.

This bill would repeal Section 13A-5-9.1, Code of Alabama 1975, providing for the retroactive application of the Habitual Offender Act, as amended. The repeal would be prospective and would not apply to any pending motion for a review of a sentence pursuant to the retroactive application of the law.
