FL H0393

Defines "disqualifying felony" as any felony other than one or more third-degree felonies arising from a single criminal act, transaction, or episode.

Restricts compensation eligibility by making wrongfully incarcerated persons ineligible if they were previously convicted of a disqualifying felony before their wrongful conviction, or convicted of one during their incarceration.

Changes parole/community supervision violation consequences: persons who commit less than a disqualifying felony remain eligible for compensation, but those who commit a disqualifying felony become ineligible for all compensation.

Requires original sentencing courts to determine wrongful incarceration claims by evaluating evidence of actual innocence and whether petitioners meet eligibility criteria under the revised standards.

Effective date: October 1, 2017.
