Change limitations period for actions for postconviction relief

Summary

The bill changes Nebraska law so that a prisoner must file a verified motion for post‑conviction relief within one year of a specific triggering event, such as the finality of the conviction or discovery of a constitutional claim. It applies to inmates seeking to have their sentences vacated, resentenced, or otherwise altered on constitutional grounds. The change aims to create a clearer, uniform time limit for these motions.
