Bill	Sentencing: members of military: trauma.	Existing law requires a court, if it concludes that a defendant convicted of a felony offense is or was a member of the United States military who may be suffering from sexual trauma, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, or mental health problems as a result of the defendant's military service, to consider that circumstance as a factor in mitigation when imposing a sentence. Existing law allows a defendant who is currently serving a felony sentence and meets these criteria to petition for resentencing if those criteria were not considered at the time of sentencing and the person was sentenced prior to January 1, 2015.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20212022	SB 1209	California SB 1209 (20212022)	bill	Sentencing: members of military: trauma.	enacted	Eggman	7	27	7	2022-02-17	2022-09-28	openstates	ocd-bill/794e8168-2220-49f3-ad74-21e34985781d	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB1209	b5086f8782400cb17c27697d76a77e632b8dc80909908200e585d1bd788ad054	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
