We will see several new California laws that benefit noncitizens. This webinar will provide a review of key laws that affect immigrants and the criminal justice system. We will discuss Penal Code § 1473.3 (AB 813) which provides a new vehicle to vacate a California conviction, Amendment to Penal Code § 18.5 (SB 1242) which makes the 364-Day misdemeanor law retroactive, the TRUTH Act, Government Code 7283 (SB 2792) which protects the rights of immigrants in California jails, Amendments to Government Code § 70615 and Penal Code § 186.34 and adding Penal Code § 186.35 (AB 2298), which provides notice requirements and the ability to challenge being placed on a gang database, and the immigration benefits of Proposition 64. This webinar will be presented by the ILRC staff attorneys who worked on drafting many of these bills and supported their passage.
