                                  TITLE  19
                              CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
                                  CHAPTER 25
                                   JUDGMENT
    19-2513.  UNIFIED SENTENCE. Whenever any person is convicted of having
committed a felony, the court shall, unless it shall commute the sentence,
suspend or withhold judgment and sentence or grant probation, as provided in
chapter 26, title 19, Idaho Code, or unless it shall impose the death sentence
as provided by law, sentence such offender to the custody of the state board
of correction. The court shall specify a minimum period of confinement and may
specify a subsequent indeterminate period of custody. The court shall set
forth in its judgment and sentence the minimum period of confinement and the
subsequent indeterminate period, if any, provided, that the aggregate sentence
shall not exceed the maximum provided by law. During a minimum term of
confinement, the offender shall not be eligible for parole or discharge or
credit or reduction of sentence for good conduct except for meritorious
service except as provided in section 20-223(f), Idaho Code. The offender may
be considered for parole or discharge at any time during the indeterminate
period of the sentence and as provided in section 20-223(f), Idaho Code.
    If the offense carries a mandatory minimum penalty as provided by statute,
the court shall specify a minimum period of confinement consistent with such
statute. If the offense is subject to an enhanced penalty as provided by
statute, or if consecutive sentences are imposed for multiple offenses, the
court shall, if required by statute, direct that the enhancement or each
consecutive sentence contain a minimum period of confinement; in such event,
all minimum terms of confinement shall be served before any indeterminate
periods commence to run.
    Enactment of this amended section shall not affect the prosecution,
adjudication or punishment of any felony committed before the effective date
of enactment.
