Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 2903--A Cal. No. 607 2021-2022 Regular Sessions IN SENATE January 26, 2021 ___________ Introduced by Sen. KAVANAGH -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Codes -- reported favora- bly from said committee, ordered to first and second report, ordered to a third reading, amended and ordered reprinted, retaining its place in the order of third reading AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to requiring the court, prior to accepting a plea, to advise the defendant of the risk of deportation if he or she is not a citizen The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. Subdivision 7 of section 220.50 of the criminal procedure 2 law, as amended by chapter 738 of the laws of 2004, is amended to read 3 as follows: 4 7. (a) Prior to [accepting a defendant's plea of guilty to a count or5counts of an indictment or a superior court information charging a felo-6ny offense, the court must advise the defendant on the record, that if7the defendant is not a citizen of the United States, the defendant's8plea of guilty and the court's acceptance thereof may result in the9defendant's deportation, exclusion from admission to the United States10or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the United States.11Where the plea of guilty is to a count or counts of an indictment charg-12ing a felony offense other than a violent felony offense as defined in13section 70.02 of the penal law or an A-I felony offense other than an14A-I felony as defined in article two hundred twenty of the penal law,15the court must also, prior to accepting such plea, advise the defendant16that, if the defendant is not a citizen of the United States and is or17becomes the subject of a final order of deportation issued by the United18States Immigration and Naturalization Service, the defendant may be19paroled to the custody of the Immigration and Naturalization Service for20deportation purposes at any time subsequent to the commencement of any21indeterminate or determinate prison sentence imposed as a result of theEXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD03016-02-1S. 2903--A 2 1defendant's plea. The failure to advise the defendant pursuant to this2subdivision shall not be deemed to affect the voluntariness of a plea of3guilty or the validity of a conviction, nor shall it afford a defendant4any rights in a subsequent proceeding relating to such defendant's5deportation, exclusion or denial of naturalization.] the defendant's 6 entry of a plea of guilty to any accusatory instrument in any criminal 7 action, the court shall orally give every defendant on the record the 8 following notification: "If you are not a citizen of the United States, 9 you may become deportable, ineligible for naturalization or inadmissible 10 to the United States based on a conviction by plea or verdict." 11 (i) The court shall notify every defendant in a language that the 12 defendant understands without inquiring about the defendant's citizen- 13 ship or immigration status on the record. 14 (ii) Only the court shall notify defendants about the possibility of 15 deportability, ineligibility for naturalization, or inadmissibility to 16 the United States pursuant to this paragraph. The court and the people 17 shall not make any other statements about immigration consequences, 18 including but not limited to statements regarding likely immigration 19 consequences, condition defendant's guilty plea regardless of immi- 20 gration consequences, or require waiver of any issue or claim related to 21 immigration consequences. 22 (iii) Upon request of the defendant, the court shall allow the defend- 23 ant additional time to secure counsel or consider the appropriateness of 24 the plea following the notification described in this subdivision, with 25 such plea offer remaining open. 26 (iv) Advice regarding immigration consequences given by defense coun- 27 sel does not absolve the court of its independent obligation to give the 28 notice mandated in this subdivision. 29 (v) The notification does not absolve defense counsel of his or her 30 independent obligation to explain the immigration consequences to the 31 defendant. 32 (vi) Nothing in this subdivision shall prohibit a court or the people 33 from considering the immigration status of defendant in accepting entry 34 of a plea, imposing a lower sentence according to law, consenting to a 35 lesser included offense, or filing an additional accusatory instrument. 36 (b) At the time of defendant's arraignment, the court shall also 37 comply with paragraph (a) of this subdivision, though failure to do so 38 does not require vacatur pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subdivision. 39 (c) When a conviction or plea has potential or actual immigration 40 consequences for a defendant, the court's failure to strictly comply 41 with paragraph (a) of this subdivision, on or after the effective date 42 of this subdivision, shall render the plea unknowing, involuntary, and 43 unintelligent, requiring vacatur. The court's failure to have substan- 44 tially complied with paragraph (a) of this subdivision in any non-final 45 criminal prosecution from November nineteenth, two thousand thirteen to 46 the effective date of this subdivision shall render the plea unknowing, 47 involuntary, and unintelligent, requiring vacatur. An application to 48 vacate the judgment or withdraw the defendant's plea of guilty on this 49 basis can be raised either on direct appeal or at any time pursuant to a 50 motion under paragraph (h) of subdivision one of section 440.10 of this 51 chapter. 52 (i) The term "potential or actual immigration consequences" includes 53 but is not limited to the use of the relevant penal law section in any 54 removal proceeding or adjudication under federal immigration law. 55 (ii) All records, papers, and affirmations submitted by the defendant 56 to establish that he or she is not a United States citizen and that theS. 2903--A 3 1 conviction has potential or actual immigration consequences are confi- 2 dential and may not be made available to any person or public or private 3 agency, except where specifically required by statute or when so 4 requested by the defendant. 5 (iii) Unless the required notification appears on the record or if no 6 record exists, the defendant shall be presumed to have not received the 7 notification from the court. 8 (iv) This remedy for the court's failure to provide the notification 9 is required notwithstanding any preservation requirement or failure to 10 object by the defendant to the court's failure to give the notification. 11 (v) This remedy for the court's failure to provide the notification is 12 required notwithstanding any prejudice requirement. 13 (d) No court may rely on the existence of a notification given under 14 this subdivision in considering whether a defendant suffered prejudice 15 or received meaningful representation under the constitution of this 16 state. Meaningful representation requires, at minimum, for defense 17 counsel to determine, advise, and negotiate effectively regarding the 18 immigration consequences of a defendant's charges, plea, or conviction. 19 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall 20 have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to subdivision 21 7 of section 220.50 of the criminal procedure law made by section one of 22 this act shall not affect the repeal of such subdivision and shall be 23 deemed repealed therewith.
