Maddy summaryThis bill automatically expunges arrest records in New York for individuals whose arrests were later deemed "voidable" (e.g., no charges filed, lack of probable cause, or dismissed charges). Courts must issue expungement orders within 30 days of the arrest becoming voidable, requiring all law enforcement agencies to destroy physical records like photos, fingerprints, and digital copies (except retained fingerprint cards). Affected individuals can later answer employment inquiries as if the arrest never occurred. The law directly benefits people with specific dismissed or unjustified arrests by removing barriers to employment and housing.
