Relative to the time to petition for a new trial.

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the time limit for requesting a new trial. It keeps the general three-year limit but removes it for certain criminal cases where new evidence suggests the person is innocent and is still affected by the conviction. The bill also defines "newly discovered evidence" and outlines how courts should handle these specific petitions, including reactivating victim services for the original crime.
