SHARE: Progressive legislators are hoping to pass a new piece of criminal justice reform legislation by the end of this legislative session that they hope will not only aid formerly incarcerated people but the state’s bruised economy as well. The Clean Slate bill, sponsored by state Sen. Zellnor Myrie and Assembly Member Catalina Cruz, seeks to automatically seal and expunge records automatically, after a formerly incarcerated individual’s time has been served and their probation has ended. The bill is a part of an overarching criminal justice policy plan called the Justice Roadmap, which is backed by 18 state Senators and Assembly members.
