BILL NUMBER:S1423 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the criminal procedure law and the executive law, in relation to disclosure of arrest and prosecution records of applicants for employment by police departments and other law enforcement agencies PURPOSE: To allow the disclosure of criminal histories of all applicants for employment by police departments and other law enforcement agencies.

The companion amendment to the Executive Law removes as an unlawful discriminatory practice under Section 296 (16) inquiries made by a police department or law enforcement agency regarding the criminal history of an applicant for a position with such department
