Bill > A04893

This bill amends the Correction Law to require public agencies to establish preliminary license application procedures to determine whether an applicant's criminal history would make them ineligible for a license. Key provisions include requiring agencies to clearly explain their criminal history review process, allowing individuals to submit a preliminary application to determine eligibility, setting timelines for agency responses, and requiring agencies to report annually on preliminary application data. The bill also expands the enforcement of the Correction Law's provisions to private entities and individuals.
