1. “The general rule is that the penalty in effect at the time of the commission of the offense is the applicable provision. State v. Sugasti , XXXX-XXXX (La.6/21/02), 820 So.2d 518, 520 . La. R.S. 15:308, as enacted by Act 45 of 2006, did not provide authority for the trial court to vacate defendant's sentence. As originally proposed in Senate Bill 126 of 2006, the provision authorized an eligible person to file a motion for reconsideration, amendment, or modification of sentence and authorized the sentencing court to grant such a motion and to impose a more lenient sentence pursuant to Act 403 of 2001. However, those provisions were removed in committee amendments, and the final version of Act 45 authorizes eligible persons to apply to the Louisiana Risk Review Panel. See La. R.S. 15:308 & 15:574.22. State v. Dick, 06-1381 (La.App. 1 Cir. 7/20/06) , 943 So.2d 389 .”
