Bill Summary

Relates to proceedings to vacate convictions for offenses resulting from sex trafficking, labor trafficking and compelling prostitution and provides for confidentiality of records of such proceedings.

AI Summary

This bill amends the criminal procedure law to expand the ability of victims of sex trafficking, labor trafficking, aggravated labor trafficking, and compelling prostitution to have their convictions vacated. It allows victims to have their convictions vacated for a broader range of offenses beyond just prostitution-related crimes. The bill also provides for the confidentiality of records related to these vacatur proceedings and allows for the consolidation of multiple vacatur motions. Additionally, the bill specifies that when a vacatur motion is granted under this provision, the court must vacate the judgment on the merits because the defendant's participation in the offense was a result of being a victim of trafficking.
