 certain juvenile and adolescent offenders

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and cited as the
 2 "abandoned teens act."
 3 § 2. The criminal procedure law is amended by adding a new section
 4 722.25 to read as follows:
 5 § 722.25 Resentencing; juvenile and adolescent offenders.
 6 1. A person aged sixteen or seventeen convicted of a felony in crimi-
 7 nal court prior to October first, two thousand eighteen shall be eligi-
 8 ble for parole.

 10 was convicted of an offense under article thirty of the penal law;
 11 convicted of murder in the first degree pursuant to section 125.27 of
 12 the penal law; or convicted of aggravated murder pursuant to section
 13 125.26 of the penal law.
 14 3. An eligible person shall petition the court for resentencing. Upon
 15 resentencing, the court shall consider mitigating factors related to
 16 youth, including immaturity, home environment, peer influence, capacity
 17 for change, and evidence of rehabilitation. The court shall reduce the
 18 sentence to a determinate or indeterminate term that provides a meaning-
 19 ful opportunity for release.

 21 uals shall be eligible for parole consideration after fifteen years of

 23 mitigating factors and evidence of growth and rehabilitation.
 24 § 3. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
