The enactment also provides that a person sentenced to life
imprisonment for first degree murder or second degree murder is not
eligible for parole until the person has served, in addition to the portion
of sentence that the person must serve for murder, one-third or a

is already serving. The mandatory portion of each life sentence imposed
on a person who is convicted of a second murder must be served
