Concerning the wrongly convicted persons act.

Summary

The Wrongly Convicted Persons Act lets people who are later found actually innocent of a felony sue the state for monetary damages and receive re‑entry services. It also requires the state to provide tuition and fee waivers at public colleges for those individuals and their eligible children. The law replaces earlier statutes, sets strict filing rules, and makes the compensation award the exclusive remedy against the state.
