1Opinion of the CourtJohnson, J.
- The principal issue in this consolidated case is whether the 1997 amendment to juvenile “wash-out” provisions of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1981 (SRA)1 applies retroactively so as to revive appellants’ previously “washed out” juvenile felony adjudications for purposes of calculating offender scores for their current offenses. We find the 1997 amendment is not retroactive and remand all *669four individual cases for resentencing. Additionally, Dorsey raises several unrelated challenges to his conviction. We find no merit in these additional challenges.
