The act finds that some criminal defendants were not effectively advised of immigration consequences to a guilty plea, and therefore, these defendants did not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily enter a guilty plea. The act authorizes these persons to petition the court for an order vacating the guilty plea. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds the phrase "passes third reading in the house of introduction" to the bill's language and modifies the legislative summary link. It also clarifies that the bill is addressing concerns over some criminal defendants not being effectively informed about the immigration consequences of their guilty pleas, suggesting these pleas were not entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. This matters as it implies that those defendants may be able to challenge their guilty pleas based on the lack of proper advice regarding immigration impacts.
