New York S07452 mandates sealing of certain defendant records and limits adjournment periods to 90 days.

New York S07452 amends the criminal procedure law to mandate that judges seal certain records of defendants instead of having discretion. It limits the total period of adjournment to 90 days, except for family offenses where it can be up to one year. The bill also outlines specific conditions under which records can be sealed, such as the defendant's successful completion of a judicially sanctioned drug treatment program. The court must consider factors like the defendant's character and criminal history when deciding to seal records.
