    NY State 160.50
    In 1998 I was convicted of a C felony in NY. It was at the county level. I served no jail time, only probation and community service. I recently applied for a certificate of relief from disabilities but in place received a Certificate of Conviction or Discharge. In the body it says that the "charges have been dismissed and sealed per 160.50 CPL" Does this mean that my records are sealed and that I will not have to disclose my conviction if asked, such as on job applications?

    Hello cp:

    It means the records are sealed. It does NOT mean that you can lie. It doesn't mean that you can't either, but I'd be concerned that the information about your conviction is already out in the public domain.

    I don't know what you mean by a C felony at the County level.

    And, yes, it will be visible to some people, depending on how runs the background check.
