AI Summary
This bill, the Fair Adjudications for Immigrants Act, aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to alter the definition of "conviction" for immigration purposes. The key provisions include: (1) Specifying that certain types of adjudications, such as those that have been dismissed, expunged, or pardoned, cannot be considered convictions for immigration purposes; (2) Clarifying that references to a sentence of imprisonment should only include the actual period of incarceration ordered by the court, excluding any suspended portions; and (3) Providing that the grounds of inadmissibility and deportability based on criminal convictions do not apply if the sentencing court issues a recommendation that the alien not be removed on the basis of the conviction.
