ICARE proposes “Restoration of Rights” Bill

ICARE's policy committee is proposing a far-reaching omnibus bill 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"
  • Automatic Sealing for specified criminal convictions
  • Protections against unlawful discrimination by employers and licensing authorities

If you or your organization is interested in getting involved, Please call Rima at 212-280-1386 or rima@nyicare.org
