Bill overview
This resolution expresses opposition to New York’s Clean Slate Act, which automatically seals certain criminal records after a specified period following an individual’s release from incarceration. The resolution argues that this legislation hinders employers’ ability to conduct thorough background checks and prioritizes criminals over law-abiding citizens. It also cites concerns about rising crime rates in New York City and the challenges faced by law enforcement. Ultimately, the resolution calls on New York State to focus on policies that enhance public safety and support law enforcement.
