Bill > S1061

This bill aims to enhance the lives of survivors of human trafficking. It amends existing laws to allow for the sealing of court records related to criminal complaints that are dismissed, result in acquittal, or have a finding of no probable cause. This ensures that individuals with sealed records are not disqualified from public employment, and employers are required to include a statement informing applicants with sealed records that they can answer "no record" to inquiries about prior arrests or criminal court appearances. The bill also specifies that the Commissioner of Probation or court clerks cannot disclose the existence of a sealed record to unauthorized persons.
