Requires that a trial judge may not accept a plea of guilty from a defendant who is an undocumented immigrant to a charge of third degree criminal charge. The trial judge may accept such a plea upon a good faith representation that: the attorney could not establish a prima facie case in a trial, and the plea is not intended to permit the defendant to avoid removal from the country.
