Major labor unions in New York are backing a bill that would seal and eventually expunge the criminal records of up to 2.3 million in the state.
The clean slate proposal in the state is among the criminal justice measures being considered by the state Legislature in the final days of the legislative session, set to conclude on June 10.
Unions 1199SEIU, the New York State Nurses Association and District Council 37 this week released memorandums in support of the bill hoping to sway lawmakers for final passage. Supporters of the measure point to its potential for helping people who served their sentences gain employment.
