Criminal procedure: vacatur relief.

Summary

The bill lets a person who was arrested or convicted of a non‑violent crime while being a victim of intimate partner or sexual violence ask a court to vacate the conviction, but only if they prove the arrest was a direct result of the abuse. If the petitioner holds a professional license, the petition must be served on the relevant licensing board, which has 45 days to respond, and the court must consider the impact on public health, safety, and welfare before granting relief. The measure failed to pass in the Assembly.
