New York s legislative session ends: Five key items left undone

Parole reform gets NY lawmakers OK, but Clean Slate Act falls short

View Comments ALBANY – New York lawmakers took action Thursday to make changes to the state s parole system, but they failed to reach a deal on a bill favored by progressives that would have sealed certain criminal convictions after a set period of time. The passage of the Less Is More Act, which would prevent those on parole from being sent back to prison for technical violations, came on the final day of the Legislature s 2021 session and now heads to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for final approval. But lawmakers were not able to reach consensus on more robust measures to reform the parole system, including a bill that would focus parole hearings on signs of rehabilitation rather than the severity of the original crime.

Lawmakers reach compromise to pass Clean Slate bill

ALBANY — The Clean Slate bill is set to pass the state Legislature before session ends this week after lawmakers negotiated a deal overnight to change the measure to seal, and no longer expunge, New Yorkers’ criminal records after completing a prison sentence. Initially, Clean Slate was set to automatically seal and expunge New Yorkers’ criminal record after one year for misdemeanors and three years for certain felonies after release from prison. The bill was reintroduced overnight to allow for the automatic sealing of misdemeanors after three years and felonies after seven years, but not expungement of records. “We got a deal, now, it just has to move through conference again,” Clean Slate sponsor Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz, D-Queens, said Tuesday.
