Ramapo Records and New York State Law

New York's Clean Slate Act took effect November 16, 2024. It will seal certain conviction records automatically over the next three years. Sex crimes and non-drug Class A felonies are not eligible for sealing. The Office of Court Administration is building the process. Until it is done, records that will eventually be sealed still show up in booking histories and criminal record checks.

Some parts of a Ramapo booking report may be withheld under FOIL. Law enforcement can hold back details that would endanger someone's safety or reveal investigative techniques that are not routine. Medical records, juvenile data, and cases sealed under CPL 160.50 or CPL 160.59 are also restricted. The Sex Offender Registry is separate. Level 2 and 3 offenders are listed online. Call 800-262-3257 for Level 1 checks.
