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
