Relates to the automatic expungement of records of arrest

S 895 requires courts to automatically expunge arrest records when an arrest is deemed "voidable" (meaning no charges were filed, the arrest lacked probable cause, or charges were dismissed). It mandates that courts issue expungement orders within 30 days of an arrest becoming voidable, and directs law enforcement agencies to destroy physical records like photos, fingerprints, and documents within the same timeframe. Individuals affected can answer employment questions as if the arrest never occurred, and courts must notify both the person and their attorney of the expungement. This applies to all arrests meeting the "voidable" criteria in New York, streamlining record clearance without requiring individual petitions.
