Criminal Legal Reform

Bill Number: SB19-030

Year: 2019

ACLU Position: Support

Sponsors: J. Gonzales

Description:

The bill finds that some criminal defendants who, when they entered a guilty plea in connection with a deferred judgment, were not advised that there may be additional penalties that attach to the plea even if the plea is later withdrawn and the case is dismissed. These defendants
did not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily enter the plea of guiltyas required by law. The bill authorizes these persons to petition the court for an order vacating the guilty plea.
