Concerning collateral attacks on judgment and sentence in criminal cases.

HB 2595 extends the time limit for filing collateral attacks on criminal convictions from one year to three years after a judgment becomes final. It defines "collateral attack" to include postconviction petitions like personal restraint petitions and motions to vacate judgments, and specifies when a judgment becomes final (e.g., after direct appeals or Supreme Court certiorari denial). The bill requires the Department of Corrections to notify currently incarcerated individuals about this new three-year limit. These changes directly affect people convicted of felonies who seek postconviction relief, aiming to streamline legal processes while maintaining access to certain remedies.
