AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law and  the  executive  law,  in
  relation to DNA testing of certain offenders convicted of a crime

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 440.30 of the  criminal  procedure
law is amended to read as follows:
  1.  (A)  A  motion  to vacate a judgment pursuant to section 440.10 OF
THIS ARTICLE and a motion to set aside a sentence  pursuant  to  section
440.20  OF  THIS  ARTICLE  must  be  made in writing and upon reasonable
notice to the people. Upon the motion, a defendant who is in a  position
adequately  to raise more than one ground should raise every such ground
upon which he OR SHE intends to challenge the judgment or  sentence.  If
the  motion  is  based  upon  the  existence or occurrence of facts, the
motion papers must contain sworn allegations  thereof,  whether  by  the
defendant or by another person or persons. Such sworn allegations may be
based  upon  personal  knowledge  of the affiant or upon information and
belief, provided that in the latter event the  affiant  must  state  the
sources  of such information and the grounds of such belief. The defend-
ant may further submit documentary evidence or information supporting or
tending to support the allegations of the moving papers. The people  may
file with the court, and in such case must serve a copy thereof upon the
defendant  or his OR HER counsel, if any, an answer denying or admitting
any or all of the allegations of the  motion  papers,  and  may  further
submit documentary evidence or information refuting or tending to refute
such  allegations. After all papers of both parties have been filed, and

                                                           LBD12113-08-2

S. 6733                             2                            A. 9555

after all documentary evidence or information, if any, has been  submit-
ted,  the  court  must consider the same for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the motion is determinable without a hearing  to  resolve  ques-
tions of fact.
  (B)  IN  CONJUNCTION  WITH  THE FILING OR CONSIDERATION OF A MOTION TO
VACATE A JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO  SECTION  440.10  OF  THIS  ARTICLE  BY  A
DEFENDANT  CONVICTED AFTER A TRIAL, IN CASES WHERE THE COURT HAS ORDERED
AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING UPON SUCH MOTION, THE COURT MAY  ORDER  THAT  THE
PEOPLE  PRODUCE OR MAKE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION PROPERTY, AS DEFINED IN
SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION 240.10 OF THIS  PART,  IN  ITS  POSSESSION,
CUSTODY,  OR  CONTROL  THAT  WAS SECURED IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVESTI-
GATION OR PROSECUTION OF THE DEFENDANT UPON CREDIBLE ALLEGATIONS BY  THE
DEFENDANT  AND  A  FINDING BY THE COURT THAT SUCH PROPERTY, IF OBTAINED,
WOULD BE PROBATIVE TO THE DETERMINATION OF DEFENDANT'S ACTUAL INNOCENCE,
AND THAT THE REQUEST IS REASONABLE. THE COURT SHALL DENY OR LIMIT SUCH A
REQUEST UPON A FINDING THAT SUCH A REQUEST, IF GRANTED,  WOULD  THREATEN
THE  INTEGRITY  OR  CHAIN OF CUSTODY OF PROPERTY OR THE INTEGRITY OF THE
PROCESSES OR FUNCTIONS OF A LABORATORY CONDUCTING DNA  TESTING,  POSE  A
RISK  OF  HARM, INTIMIDATION, EMBARRASSMENT, REPRISAL, OR OTHER SUBSTAN-
TIALLY NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES TO ANY PERSON, UNDERMINE THE  PROPER  FUNC-
TIONS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT INCLUDING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMANTS, OR
ON  THE  BASIS OF ANY OTHER FACTOR IDENTIFIED BY THE COURT IN THE INTER-
ESTS OF JUSTICE OR PUBLIC SAFETY. THE COURT SHALL  FURTHER  ENSURE  THAT
ANY PROPERTY PRODUCED PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH IS SUBJECT TO A PROTEC-
TIVE  ORDER,  WHERE  APPROPRIATE.  THE COURT SHALL DENY ANY REQUEST MADE
PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH WHERE:
  (I) (1) THE DEFENDANT'S MOTION PURSUANT  TO  SECTION  440.10  OF  THIS
ARTICLE  DOES NOT SEEK TO DEMONSTRATE HIS OR HER ACTUAL INNOCENCE OF THE
OFFENSE OR OFFENSES OF WHICH HE  OR  SHE  WAS  CONVICTED  THAT  ARE  THE
SUBJECT  OF  THE MOTION, OR (2) THE DEFENDANT HAS NOT PRESENTED CREDIBLE
ALLEGATIONS AND THE COURT HAS NOT FOUND THAT SUCH PROPERTY, IF OBTAINED,
WOULD BE PROBATIVE TO THE DETERMINATION OF THE DEFENDANT'S ACTUAL  INNO-
CENCE AND THAT THE REQUEST IS REASONABLE;
  (II)  THE  DEFENDANT  HAS MADE HIS OR HER MOTION AFTER FIVE YEARS FROM
THE DATE OF THE JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  THAT  THIS
LIMITATION  PERIOD SHALL BE TOLLED FOR FIVE YEARS IF THE DEFENDANT IS IN
CUSTODY IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONVICTION THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF HIS  OR
HER  MOTION,  AND PROVIDED FURTHER THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING SUCH LIMITATION
PERIODS, THE COURT MAY CONSIDER THE MOTION IF THE DEFENDANT  HAS  SHOWN:
(A)  THAT  HE  OR SHE HAS BEEN PURSUING HIS OR HER RIGHTS DILIGENTLY AND
THAT SOME EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE PREVENTED THE TIMELY FILING OF  THE
MOTION;  (B)  THAT  THE  FACTS  UPON WHICH THE MOTION IS PREDICATED WERE
UNKNOWN TO THE DEFENDANT OR HIS OR HER ATTORNEY AND COULD NOT HAVE  BEEN
ASCERTAINED  BY THE EXERCISE OF DUE DILIGENCE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF
THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; OR (C) CONSIDERING ALL CIRCUMSTANCES OF  THE
CASE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO EVIDENCE OF THE DEFENDANT'S GUILT, THE
IMPACT  OF GRANTING OR DENYING SUCH MOTION UPON PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, OR UPON THE SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY,
AND THE DEFENDANT'S DILIGENCE IN SEEKING TO OBTAIN THE REQUESTED PROPER-
TY OR RELATED RELIEF, THE  INTERESTS  OF  JUSTICE  WOULD  BE  SERVED  BY
CONSIDERING THE MOTION;
  (III) THE DEFENDANT IS CHALLENGING A JUDGMENT CONVICTING HIM OR HER OF
AN  OFFENSE  THAT  IS NOT A FELONY DEFINED IN SECTION 10.00 OF THE PENAL
LAW; OR

S. 6733                             3                            A. 9555

  (IV) UPON A FINDING BY THE COURT THAT THE PROPERTY REQUESTED  IN  THIS
MOTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE THROUGH OTHER MEANS THROUGH REASONABLE EFFORTS
BY THE DEFENDANT TO OBTAIN SUCH PROPERTY.
  S  2. Subdivision 1-a of section 440.30 of the criminal procedure law,
as amended by chapter 138 of the laws of 2004, is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  1-a.  (a) (1) Where the defendant's motion requests the performance of
a forensic DNA test on specified evidence, and upon the court's determi-
nation that any evidence containing deoxyribonucleic  acid  ("DNA")  was
secured  in  connection  with  the  trial resulting in the judgment, the
court shall grant the application  for  forensic  DNA  testing  of  such
evidence upon its determination that if a DNA test had been conducted on
such evidence, and if the results had been admitted in the trial result-
ing  in  the  judgment,  there  exists a reasonable probability that the
verdict would have been more favorable to the defendant.
  (2) WHERE THE DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR FORENSIC DNA TESTING OF SPECIFIED
EVIDENCE IS MADE FOLLOWING A PLEA OF GUILTY AND ENTRY OF JUDGMENT THERE-
ON CONVICTING HIM OR HER OF: (A) A HOMICIDE OFFENSE DEFINED  IN  ARTICLE
ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE OF THE PENAL LAW, ANY FELONY SEX OFFENSE DEFINED
IN ARTICLE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY OF THE PENAL LAW, A VIOLENT FELONY OFFENSE
AS  DEFINED  IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 70.02 OF THE
PENAL LAW, OR (B) ANY OTHER FELONY OFFENSE TO WHICH HE OR SHE PLED GUIL-
TY AFTER BEING CHARGED IN AN INDICTMENT OR INFORMATION IN SUPERIOR COURT
WITH ONE OR MORE OF THE OFFENSES LISTED IN CLAUSE (A) OF  THIS  SUBPARA-
GRAPH,  THEN  THE COURT SHALL GRANT SUCH A MOTION UPON ITS DETERMINATION
THAT EVIDENCE CONTAINING DNA WAS SECURED IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVESTI-
GATION OR PROSECUTION OF THE DEFENDANT, AND  IF  A  DNA  TEST  HAD  BEEN
CONDUCTED ON SUCH EVIDENCE AND THE RESULTS HAD BEEN KNOWN TO THE PARTIES
PRIOR  TO  THE ENTRY OF THE DEFENDANT'S PLEA AND JUDGMENT THEREON, THERE
EXISTS A SUBSTANTIAL PROBABILITY THAT THE  EVIDENCE  WOULD  HAVE  ESTAB-
LISHED  THE DEFENDANT'S ACTUAL INNOCENCE OF THE OFFENSE OR OFFENSES THAT
ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE DEFENDANT'S MOTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT:
  (I) THE COURT SHALL CONSIDER WHETHER THE DEFENDANT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
TO REQUEST SUCH TESTING PRIOR TO ENTERING A GUILTY PLEA, AND,  WHERE  IT
FINDS  THAT  THE DEFENDANT HAD SUCH OPPORTUNITY AND UNJUSTIFIABLY FAILED
TO DO SO, THE COURT MAY DENY SUCH MOTION; AND
  (II) A COURT SHALL DENY THE DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR FORENSIC DNA  TEST-
ING  WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAS MADE HIS OR HER MOTION MORE THAN FIVE YEARS
AFTER ENTRY OF THE JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION; EXCEPT  THAT  THE  LIMITATION
PERIOD  MAY BE TOLLED IF THE DEFENDANT HAS SHOWN: (A) THAT HE OR SHE HAS
BEEN PURSUING HIS OR HER RIGHTS DILIGENTLY AND THAT  SOME  EXTRAORDINARY
CIRCUMSTANCE  PREVENTED THE TIMELY FILING OF THE MOTION FOR FORENSIC DNA
TESTING; (B) THAT THE FACTS UPON WHICH THE  MOTION  IS  PREDICATED  WERE
UNKNOWN  TO THE DEFENDANT OR HIS OR HER ATTORNEY AND COULD NOT HAVE BEEN
ASCERTAINED BY THE EXERCISE OF DUE DILIGENCE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION  OF
THIS STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS; OR (C) CONSIDERING ALL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE
CASE INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO EVIDENCE OF THE DEFENDANT'S GUILT, THE
IMPACT  OF GRANTING OR DENYING SUCH MOTION UPON PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, OR UPON THE SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY,
AND THE DEFENDANT'S DILIGENCE IN SEEKING TO OBTAIN THE REQUESTED PROPER-
TY OR RELATED RELIEF, THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE WOULD BE SERVED BY  TOLL-
ING SUCH LIMITATION PERIOD.
  (b) In conjunction with the filing of a motion under this subdivision,
the  court  may direct the people to provide the defendant with informa-
tion in the possession of the people  concerning  the  current  physical
location  of  the  specified  evidence  and if the specified evidence no

S. 6733                             4                            A. 9555

longer exists or the physical location  of  the  specified  evidence  is
unknown, a representation to that effect and information and documentary
evidence in the possession of the people concerning the last known phys-
ical  location  of such specified evidence. If there is a finding by the
court that the specified evidence  no  longer  exists  or  the  physical
location  of such specified evidence is unknown, such information in and
of itself shall not be a factor from which any inference unfavorable  to
the  people  may  be  drawn by the court in deciding a motion under this
section. The court, on motion of the defendant, may also issue a subpoe-
na duces tecum directing a public or  private  hospital,  laboratory  or
other entity to produce such specified evidence in its possession and/or
information  and  documentary  evidence in its possession concerning the
location and status of such specified evidence.
  (C) IN RESPONSE TO A MOTION UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH, UPON NOTICE  TO  THE
PARTIES  AND  TO THE ENTITY REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE SEARCH THE COURT MAY
ORDER AN ENTITY THAT  HAS  ACCESS  TO  THE  COMBINED  DNA  INDEX  SYSTEM
("CODIS") OR ITS SUCCESSOR SYSTEM TO COMPARE A DNA PROFILE OBTAINED FROM
PROBATIVE  BIOLOGICAL  MATERIAL GATHERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE INVESTI-
GATION OR PROSECUTION OF THE DEFENDANT AGAINST DNA DATABANKS BY KEYBOARD
SEARCHES, OR A SIMILAR METHOD THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE  UPLOADING,  UPON  A
COURT'S DETERMINATION THAT (1) SUCH PROFILE COMPLIES WITH FEDERAL BUREAU
OF  INVESTIGATION OR STATE REQUIREMENTS, WHICHEVER ARE APPLICABLE AND AS
SUCH REQUIREMENTS ARE APPLIED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES SEEKING SUCH A
COMPARISON, AND THAT  THE  DATA  MEET  STATE  DNA  INDEX  SYSTEM  AND/OR
NATIONAL  DNA  INDEX SYSTEM CRITERIA AS SUCH CRITERIA ARE APPLIED TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES SEEKING SUCH A COMPARISON AND (2) IF  SUCH  COMPAR-
ISON  HAD  BEEN  CONDUCTED,  AND IF THE RESULTS HAD BEEN ADMITTED IN THE
TRIAL RESULTING IN THE JUDGMENT, A REASONABLE  PROBABILITY  EXISTS  THAT
THE  VERDICT  WOULD  HAVE  BEEN MORE FAVORABLE TO THE DEFENDANT, OR IN A
CASE INVOLVING A PLEA OF GUILTY, IF THE RESULTS HAD  BEEN  AVAILABLE  TO
THE  DEFENDANT  PRIOR  TO THE PLEA, A REASONABLE PROBABILITY EXISTS THAT
THE CONVICTION WOULD NOT HAVE RESULTED. FOR PURPOSES  OF  THIS  SUBDIVI-
SION,  A  "KEYBOARD SEARCH" SHALL MEAN A SEARCH OF A DNA PROFILE AGAINST
THE DATABANK IN WHICH THE PROFILE THAT IS SEARCHED IS NOT UPLOADED TO OR
MAINTAINED IN THE DATABANK.
  S 3. Subdivision 1 of section 240.40 of the criminal procedure law, as
amended by chapter 558 of the laws of 1982,  the  opening  paragraph  as
amended  by  chapter  317  of  the  laws  of 1983, is amended to read as
follows:
  1. Upon motion of a defendant against  whom  an  indictment,  superior
court  information, prosecutor's information, information, or simplified
information charging a misdemeanor is pending, the court in  which  such
accusatory instrument is pending:
  (a)  must  order  discovery  as  to  any material not disclosed upon a
demand pursuant to section 240.20, if it  finds  that  the  prosecutor's
refusal  to disclose such material is not justified; (b) must, unless it
is satisfied that the people have shown good cause  why  such  an  order
should  not  be issued, order discovery or any other order authorized by
subdivision one of section 240.70 as to any material not disclosed  upon
demand  pursuant  to  section  240.20 where the prosecutor has failed to
serve a timely written refusal pursuant to section 240.35; [and] (c) may
order discovery with respect to any other  property,  which  the  people
intend  to  introduce at the trial, upon a showing by the defendant that
discovery with respect to such property is material to  the  preparation
of his OR HER defense, and that the request is reasonable; AND (D) WHERE
PROPERTY  IN  THE PEOPLE'S POSSESSION, CUSTODY, OR CONTROL THAT CONSISTS

S. 6733                             5                            A. 9555

OF A DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC  ACID  ("DNA")  PROFILE  OBTAINED  FROM  PROBATIVE
BIOLOGICAL  MATERIAL  GATHERED  IN  CONNECTION WITH THE INVESTIGATION OR
PROSECUTION OF THE DEFENDANT AND THE  DEFENDANT  ESTABLISHES  THAT  SUCH
PROFILE  COMPLIES WITH FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION OR STATE REQUIRE-
MENTS, WHICHEVER ARE APPLICABLE AND AS SUCH REQUIREMENTS ARE APPLIED  TO
LAW  ENFORCEMENT  AGENCIES  SEEKING A KEYBOARD SEARCH OR SIMILAR COMPAR-
ISON, AND THAT THE DATA MEETS STATE DNA INDEX  SYSTEM  OR  NATIONAL  DNA
INDEX  SYSTEM  CRITERIA  AS SUCH CRITERIA ARE APPLIED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES SEEKING SUCH A KEYBOARD SEARCH OR SIMILAR COMPARISON, THE COURT
MAY ORDER AN ENTITY THAT HAS ACCESS TO THE COMBINED DNA INDEX SYSTEM  OR
ITS  SUCCESSOR  SYSTEM TO COMPARE SUCH DNA PROFILE AGAINST DNA DATABANKS
BY KEYBOARD SEARCHES, OR A SIMILAR METHOD THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE  UPLOAD-
ING,  UPON NOTICE TO BOTH PARTIES AND THE ENTITY REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE
SEARCH, UPON A SHOWING BY THE DEFENDANT THAT SUCH A COMPARISON IS  MATE-
RIAL  TO  THE PRESENTATION OF HIS OR HER DEFENSE AND THAT THE REQUEST IS
REASONABLE. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH, A  "KEYBOARD  SEARCH"  SHALL
MEAN A SEARCH OF A DNA PROFILE AGAINST THE DATABANK IN WHICH THE PROFILE
THAT  IS SEARCHED IS NOT UPLOADED TO OR MAINTAINED IN THE DATABANK. Upon
granting the motion pursuant to paragraph (c) [hereof] OF THIS  SUBDIVI-
SION,  the  court  shall,  upon  motion of the people showing such to be
material to the preparation of  their  case  and  that  the  request  is
reasonable,  condition  its  order  of  discovery  by  further directing
discovery by the people of property, of the same kind  or  character  as
that  authorized  to  be  inspected  by  the  defendant, which he OR SHE
intends to introduce at the trial.
  S 4. Subdivision 1 of section 440.10 of the criminal procedure law  is
amended by adding a new paragraph (g-1) to read as follows:
  (G-1)  FORENSIC DNA TESTING OF EVIDENCE PERFORMED SINCE THE ENTRY OF A
JUDGMENT, (1) IN THE CASE OF A DEFENDANT CONVICTED AFTER A GUILTY  PLEA,
THE  COURT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAS DEMONSTRATED A SUBSTAN-
TIAL PROBABILITY THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS ACTUALLY INNOCENT OF THE OFFENSE
OF WHICH HE OR SHE WAS CONVICTED, OR (2) IN  THE  CASE  OF  A  DEFENDANT
CONVICTED  AFTER  A  TRIAL, THE COURT HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE EXISTS A
REASONABLE PROBABILITY THAT THE VERDICT WOULD HAVE BEEN  MORE  FAVORABLE
TO THE DEFENDANT.
  S  5. Subdivision 7 of section 995 of the executive law, as amended by
chapter 2 of the laws of 2006, paragraph (a) as  separately  amended  by
chapter  320 of the laws of 2006 and paragraph (f) as amended by chapter
405 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
