NY S07356

Expands New York's law allowing victims of sex trafficking, labor trafficking, compelling prostitution, and trafficking in persons to vacate criminal convictions for offenses committed as a result of being trafficked

Creates a legal presumption that a defendant was a trafficking victim if they have official documentation from a federal, state, or local government agency, though such documentation is not required to file a motion

Requires all motions to vacate convictions under this provision and related documents to remain confidential, accessible only when specifically authorized by the court

Allows courts to consolidate multiple vacatur motions from different criminal courts into one proceeding with consent from the petitioner and all prosecutorial agencies involved

Specifies that granting a vacatur motion shall be determined by the court based on consideration of the circumstances and the interest of justice
