 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. SALAZAR, BROUK, COMRIE, FERNANDEZ, GONZALEZ, HOYL-
 MAN-SIGAL, MYRIE, PARKER, SERRANO -- read twice and ordered printed,

 AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to requiring public
 agencies to establish preliminary license application procedures to
 determine whether an applicant for a license would be ineligible for
 such license based on criminal history

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "prelimi-
 2 nary license application navigation (PLAN) act".
 3 § 2. The correction law is amended by adding a new section 756 to read
 4 as follows:
 5 § 756. Preliminary license application navigation. 1. Definitions.
 6 For the purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the
 7 following meanings:
 8 (a) "Applicant" means any individual intending to submit or who has
 9 submitted a preliminary license application under this section.
 10 (b) "Criminal history" means a record of all convictions and pending
 11 charges that a public agency is allowed to consider pursuant to subdivi-
 12 sion sixteen of section two hundred ninety-six of the executive law and
 13 any other governing law.
 14 2. This section shall apply to all public agencies that consider an
 15 applicant's criminal history as part of a license application or clear-
 16 ance process. Nothing in this section shall expand a public agency's
 17 ability to collect, either from an individual or third parties, informa-
 18 tion about an applicant's criminal history that the public agency was
 19 not authorized to collect as part of the license application process
 20 that existed prior to the effective date of this section.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 5 (a) the public agency's process for considering an applicant's crimi-
 6 nal history, including a list and a review of the governing statutes and
 7 regulations and any other law, guidance, or practice that is part of the
 8 public agency's criminal history review;
