 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 11382

 IN ASSEMBLY

 May 15, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Burroughs)
 -- (at request of the Unified Court System) -- read once and referred
 to the Committee on Correction

 AN ACT to amend the correction law, in relation to increasing access to
 certificates of relief from disabilities and to emphasize that certif-
 icates of relief may be issued at the time of sentencing

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 702 of the correction law, as
 2 amended by chapter 488 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 1. Any court of this state [may, in its discretion,] shall issue a
 5 certificate of relief from disabilities to an eligible offender for a
 6 conviction that occurred in such court, if the court either (a) imposed
 7 a revocable sentence or (b) imposed a sentence other than one executed
 8 by commitment to an institution under the jurisdiction of the state
 9 department of corrections and community supervision, and determines that
 10 the requirements of subdivision two of this section have been satisfied.
 11 Such certificate [may] shall be issued [(i)] at the time sentence is
 12 pronounced, in which case it may grant relief from forfeitures, as well
 13 as from disabilities, [or (ii)] provided, however, that if the court has
 14 not determined a certificate of relief from all disabilities is
 15 warranted at the time sentence is pronounced, a certificate of relief
 16 from disabilities shall be issued at any time thereafter the court
 17 determines the requirements of this section have been satisfied, in
 18 which case it shall apply only to disabilities. Where such court either
 19 imposes a revocable sentence or imposes a sentence other than one
 20 executed by commitment to an institution under the jurisdiction of the
 21 state department of corrections and community supervision, the court,
 22 upon application and in accordance with subdivision two of this section,
 23 shall initially determine the fitness of an eligible offender for such
 24 certificate prior to or at the time sentence is pronounced.
 25 § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
 26 have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
