Bill > SB183

This bill enacts the Uniform Collateral Consequences of Conviction Act, which aims to identify, collect, and publish information on collateral consequences (legal penalties or disadvantages that can result from a criminal conviction, beyond the sentence imposed) in New Mexico. It requires notice to be provided to defendants about collateral consequences during court proceedings, establishes procedures for courts to grant limited relief from certain collateral consequences, and sets standards for decision-makers to follow when considering whether to impose a collateral consequence. The bill also addresses how convictions from other jurisdictions are treated in New Mexico.
