relative to the time to petition for a new trial.

Summary

The bill would let people convicted of felonies or class A misdemeanors file a new‑trial petition after the usual three‑year limit if they are still under sentence, present newly discovered evidence, and claim innocence. It applies only to criminal convictions and adds procedural steps for courts, including a prima‑facie review and possible appointment of counsel. The measure also requires the state to reactivate victim services during the reinvestigation.
