Prohibits employment discrimination against persons whose criminal charges have been adjourned in contemplation of dismissal

This bill prohibits employers from discriminating against job applicants or employees whose criminal charges were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal (a status where charges are put on hold pending successful completion of conditions, not a conviction). It directly affects individuals with such dismissed charges, ensuring they cannot be denied employment or face other employment penalties based on this legal status. The bill amends criminal procedure law to clarify that an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal is not a conviction or admission of guilt, and that such cases should not result in employment disability or forfeiture. It explicitly states that this change does not affect existing rights under related laws.
