Relates to proof of claims for unjust conviction and imprisonment
This bill amends the Court of Claims Act to clarify the specific legal conditions under which individuals can file claims for unjust conviction and imprisonment. It directly affects people who have been pardoned for innocence or whose convictions were reversed or vacated due to constitutional violations or specific statutory errors. The key provision updates the list of acceptable grounds for overturning a conviction, including new references to sections of the Criminal Procedure Law and constitutional breaches. By modifying these requirements, the legislation defines exactly what evidence a claimant must present to prove their case in court.
