A 3343 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Expands the definition of unfair educational practices

This bill expands the definition of unfair educational practices to include denying someone entry into a school solely because they were previously incarcerated. It specifically prohibits institutions from using a past prison record as the only reason to reject an applicant, with exceptions made for convictions involving violent felonies or sex offenses. The change applies immediately to all educational institutions covered by the state education law.
