630+2 concerning the convicted person's conduct while imprisoned;
631+3 the court may reduce or suspend the sentence and impose a sentence
632+4 that the court was authorized to impose at the time of sentencing.
633+5 However, if the convicted person was sentenced under the terms of a
634+6 plea agreement, the court may not, without the consent of the

636+8 sentence not authorized by the plea agreement. The court must

638+10 (f) If the court sets a hearing on a petition under this section, the
639+11 court must give notice to the prosecuting attorney and the prosecuting
640+12 attorney must give notice to the victim (as defined in IC 35-31.5-2-348)
641+13 of the crime for which the convicted person is serving the sentence.
642+14 (g) The court may suspend a sentence for a felony under this section

657+29 (365) day period; and

671+ES 464—LS 7339/DI 148 16
672+1 right to sentence modification under this section in a plea agreement is
673+2 invalid and unenforceable as against public policy. This subsection
674+3 does not prohibit the finding of a waiver of the right to:
675+4 (1) have a court modify a sentence and impose a sentence not
676+5 authorized by the plea agreement, as described under subsection
677+6 (e); or
678+7 (2) sentence modification for any other reason, including failure

684+13 for sentence modification.
685+14 (n) A person sentenced in a criminal court having jurisdiction
686+15 over an offense committed when the person was less than eighteen
687+16 (18) years of age may file an additional petition for sentence
688+17 modification under this section without the consent of the
689+18 prosecuting attorney if the person has served at least:
690+19 (1) fifteen (15) years of the person's sentence, if the person is
691+20 not serving a sentence for murder; or
692+21 (2) twenty (20) years of the person's sentence, if the person is
693+22 serving a sentence for murder.
694+23 The time periods described in this subsection are computed on the
695+24 basis of time actually served and do not include any reduction
696+25 applied for good time credit or educational credit time.
