Expressing opposition to New York's Clean Slate Act.

This House resolution (HRES 933) symbolically opposes New York’s Clean Slate Act, which automatically seals certain criminal records (misdemeanors after 3 years, some felonies after 8 years) for eligible individuals. It argues the law would prevent employers from accessing background checks during hiring, though the resolution itself has no legal effect. The resolution urges New York to prioritize crime prevention and public safety over this policy, citing concerns about employer access and recent crime statistics. (Note: This is a non-binding expression of opinion, not a legislative change.)
