ICARE proposes "Restoration of Rights" Bills

ICARE's policy committee is proposing three far-reaching reentry bills that would assist formerly-incarcerated persons with gaining employment, by implementing the following changes to NYS law and policy:

  • A Certificate of Restoration to take the place of a "Certificate of Relief from Disabilities" and a "Certificate of Good Conduct"
  • Protections against unlawful discrimination by employers and licensing authorities
  • Automatic Sealing for specified criminal convictions
