While Senate Bill 394, passed into law in 2018, extended those eligible for a Youth Offender Parole Hearing to those who committed their controlling offense at age 25 or younger, amending Penal Code § 3051 to cover more youthful offenders, § 3051 was also narrowed to exclude those sentenced at age 18 or older to life without the possibility of parole or those sentenced under the Three Strike Law because they had a prior conviction for a strike offense.
