Relates to the examination of certain sealed records
This bill allows the New York State Comptroller to examine specific sealed criminal records. It updates the law to include the Comptroller as an authorized entity that can request access to these records for official examinations. The amendment expands the list of groups permitted to view sealed records, which currently includes prosecutors, law enforcement, licensing agencies, and parole departments. By adding the Comptroller to this list, the bill facilitates financial or administrative reviews that may require access to past criminal history information.
