A 3099 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to an order upon termination of criminal action in favor of the accused

This bill automatically seals certain criminal records after specific timeframes if no prosecution occurs. It applies to arrests (after January 1, 2027) without docket numbers or cases (after January 1, 2027) with no action for a year. The Division of Criminal Justice Services must notify relevant agencies (prosecutors, courts, police) after 6 months for arrests or 2 years for cases, then seal records 60 days later if no prosecution updates are received. Sealed records become inaccessible to all entities, protecting individuals from having unresolved arrests or cases affecting their records. The law takes effect January 1, 2027.
