 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:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision 7 of section 220.50 of the criminal procedure
 law, as amended by chapter 738 of the laws of 2004, is amended  to  read
 as follows:
   7.  (A) Prior to [accepting a defendant's plea of guilty to a count or
 counts of an indictment or a superior court information charging a felo-
 ny offense, the court must advise the defendant on the record,  that  if
 the  defendant  is  not  a citizen of the United States, the defendant's
 plea of guilty and the court's acceptance  thereof  may  result  in  the
 defendant's  deportation,  exclusion from admission to the United States
 or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the  United  States.
 Where the plea of guilty is to a count or counts of an indictment charg-
 ing  a  felony offense other than a violent felony offense as defined in
 section 70.02 of the penal law or an A-I felony offense  other  than  an
 A-I  felony  as  defined in article two hundred twenty of the penal law,
 the court must also, prior to accepting such plea, advise the  defendant
 that,  if  the defendant is not a citizen of the United States and is or
 becomes the subject of a final order of deportation issued by the United
 States Immigration and Naturalization  Service,  the  defendant  may  be
 paroled to the custody of the Immigration and Naturalization Service for
 deportation  purposes  at any time subsequent to the commencement of any
 indeterminate or determinate prison sentence imposed as a result of  the
 defendant's  plea.  The failure to advise the defendant pursuant to this
 subdivision shall not be deemed to affect the voluntariness of a plea of
 guilty or the validity of a conviction, nor shall it afford a  defendant
 any  rights  in  a  subsequent  proceeding  relating to such defendant's
 deportation, exclusion or denial  of  naturalization.]  THE  DEFENDANT'S
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
