Effective February 1, 2009, employers must post a copy of the Correction Law relating to the use of prior convictions.

On August 5, 2008, Governor Paterson signed legislation that requires employers to post a copy of Article 23-A of the correction law relating to the employment of persons with a criminal conviction (Chapter 465)".  Under the new law which takes effect February 1, 2009, a copy of Article 23-A must be posted in a visually conspicuous manner in an accessible location at the workplace.
