N.Y. Correction Law § 751: Applicability

§ 751. Applicability. The provisions of this article shall apply to

any application by any person for a license or employment at any public

or private employer, who has previously been convicted of one or more

criminal offenses in this state or in any other jurisdiction, and to any

license or employment held by any person whose conviction of one or more

criminal offenses in this state or in any other jurisdiction preceded

such employment or granting of a license, except where a mandatory

forfeiture, disability or bar to employment is imposed by law, and has

not been removed by an executive pardon, certificate of relief from

disabilities or certificate of good conduct. Nothing in this article

shall be construed to affect any right an employer may have with respect

to an intentional misrepresentation in connection with an application

for employment made by a prospective employee or previously made by a

current employee.
