SB 100

In criminal cases, current law permits the review of an order denying a motion

to suppress evidence or a motion challenging admissibility of a defendant's

statement as part of an appeal from a conviction, notwithstanding the fact that the

judgment of conviction was entered on a guilty plea. This bill permits review of an

order denying a motion to suppress evidence or a motion challenging admissibility

of a statement of a defendant as part of an appeal from a final judgment or order,

notwithstanding the fact that the final judgment or order was entered on an

admission of guilt or a no contest plea. This bill also permits the review of orders

denying a motion to suppress evidence or a motion challenging admissibility of the

statement of a juvenile upon review from a final judgment or order, notwithstanding

the fact that the final judgment or order was entered upon a plea of no contest or an

admission to the allegations of a petition filed in cases involving juveniles alleged to

be delinquent.
