extending the time to petition for a new trial in certain cases.

SB 507 would have extended the deadline for filing a petition for a new trial from three years to an unspecified longer period for most civil cases. The bill included a specific exception for criminal felony and class A misdemeanor cases, allowing new trial motions based on newly discovered evidence or new forensic testing regardless of the time limit. Although the legislation passed both legislative chambers, it was vetoed by the Governor and subsequently sustained by the legislature, meaning it did not become law.
