Bill 118 HRES 933 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress expressing opposition to New York's Clean Slate Act. The Clean Slate Act is a state law in New York that aims to automatically seal certain criminal records after a period of time, allowing individuals with past convictions to have a fresh start and access to opportunities such as employment and housing.The resolution argues that the Clean Slate Act could potentially pose a threat to public safety by allowing individuals with criminal records to have their records sealed without proper consideration of the nature of their offenses. It also raises concerns about the potential for individuals with violent or serious criminal histories to have their records sealed, potentially putting communities at risk.
Supporters of the Clean Slate Act argue that it is a necessary step towards criminal justice reform and reducing barriers to reentry for individuals with past convictions. They argue that sealing certain criminal records can help individuals move on from their past mistakes and lead productive lives. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 933 highlights the ongoing debate surrounding criminal justice reform and the balance between providing opportunities for individuals with past convictions and ensuring public safety. It is important for lawmakers to carefully consider the implications of policies like the Clean Slate Act and weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks.
