Relates to certain guilty pleas

Summary

The bill changes New York's criminal procedure law so a defendant can enter a guilty plea with the court’s permission and the prosecutor’s consent, even if existing rules would block it, when both agree it serves justice. It also creates a special rule for repeat felony or violent offenders, letting them plead guilty and receive any sentence normally available to a first‑time offender, subject to conditions set by the prosecutor. The goal is to give courts more flexibility to resolve cases fairly.
