Sentencing and release guidelines

The 2021 Sentencing & Release Guidelines are effective April 15, 2021, and determine the presumptive sentence for offenses committed on or after the effective date. The Guidelines remain in effect until the next publication. An individual’s guideline calculations will be based on the version of the sentencing guidelines that govern on the date the individual was sentenced. For more information see pages 53 of the Sentencing & Release Guidelines.
