What A 673 does, verified July 2, 2025
This bill aims to expand the appellate review process for certain court rulings that involve issues of public concern. The law will allow defendants to appeal denied motions to suppress evidence, even if they have pleaded guilty or waived their right to appeal. This change will ensure that defendants have a chance to challenge the admissibility of evidence in their case, regardless of the outcome of the trial. The new law will take effect 60 days after it becomes a law.
