  • Nolo contendere: No contest-has the same effect as a plea of guilty, as far as the criminal sentence is concerned, but may not be considered as an admission of guilt for any other purpose.
A member of the General Assembly who has been convicted of a felony under state or federal law, or who has pled guilty or nolo contendere to these offenses, may not receive compensation or reimbursable expenses provided for members of the General Assembly in the annual general appropriations act. However, this section does not apply to a person who has been pardoned under state or federal law of the disqualifying felony.
