Establishes provisions relating to freestanding claims of actual innocence

This bill allows individuals convicted of crimes to file a specific claim of actual innocence in post-conviction proceedings if they believe the original court findings were incorrect. To succeed, a person must provide clear and convincing evidence that they are innocent, which can include new evidence not previously presented at trial or during appeals. If the court is convinced by this evidence, it must overturn or set aside the original criminal judgment. The measure directly affects current prisoners seeking to prove their innocence based on facts that were not available or considered in their initial case.
