Relates to claims for unjust conviction and imprisonment

Summary

The bill lets anyone who was convicted of a felony or misdemeanor they did not commit and served time sue New York for compensation. Claimants must prove innocence by clear and convincing evidence, and the court must give priority to cases with DNA proof. It sets filing deadlines and allows the court to dismiss claims that are unlikely to succeed.
