S 3300: Repeals the clean slate act; repealer

This bill (S 3300) repeals New York's Clean Slate Act, which previously allowed certain criminal records to be sealed or expunged. It directly affects individuals with past arrests or convictions that were dismissed, ended in a favorable termination, or resulted in sealed records under the Clean Slate Act. The repeal removes legal protections that prevented employers, landlords, and others from asking about or considering these sealed records during job applications, housing searches, or credit decisions. As a result, individuals who qualified under the Clean Slate Act would no longer have those records shielded from such inquiries.
