Bill > A05688

This bill amends the New York Criminal Procedure Law to facilitate appellate review of rulings that implicate issues of public concern. Specifically, it mandates that an order finally denying a motion to suppress evidence can be reviewed upon an appeal from an ensuing judgment of conviction, even if the judgment is entered upon a plea of guilty or there is an otherwise enforceable waiver of the right to appeal. This change aims to provide greater access to appellate review for rulings on evidentiary motions that may have broader public significance.
