Relates to the sealing of certain claims against law enforcement officers

Summary

The legislation creates a new section in the Executive Law that automatically seals certain claims against law‑enforcement officers once they are determined unfounded, exonerated, or are still pending. Sealed records would be hidden from the public but remain accessible to agencies for internal investigations, prosecutors, and oversight boards. The goal is to protect officers’ employment and housing prospects while preserving limited access for accountability purposes.
