§  701.  Certificate  of relief from disabilities. 1. A certificate of   relief from disabilities may be granted as provided in this  article  to   relieve  an  eligible  offender  of  any forfeiture or disability, or to   remove any bar to his employment, automatically imposed by law by reason   of his conviction of the crime or of the offense specified therein. Such   certificate may be  limited  to  one  or  more  enumerated  forfeitures,   disabilities  or  bars,  or  may  relieve  the  eligible offender of all   forfeitures, disabilities and bars.  Provided,  however,  that  no  such   certificate shall apply, or be construed so as to apply, to the right of   such person to retain or to be eligible for public office.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except subdivision five   of  section  twenty-eight  hundred  six  of  the  public  health  law or   paragraph (b) of subdivision two of section eleven hundred  ninety-three   of the vehicle and traffic law, a conviction of a crime or of an offense   specified  in  a certificate of relief from disabilities shall not cause   automatic forfeiture  of  any  license,  other  than  a  license  issued   pursuant  to  section 400.00 of the penal law to a person convicted of a   class A-I felony or a violent felony offense, as defined in  subdivision   one of section 70.02 of the penal law, permit, employment, or franchise,   including the right to register for or vote at an election, or automatic   forfeiture  of  any  other  right  or  privilege,  held  by the eligible   offender and covered by the certificate. Nor shall  such  conviction  be   deemed  to  be  a  conviction within the meaning of any provision of law   that imposes, by reason of a conviction, a  bar  to  any  employment,  a   disability  to  exercise  any  right, or a disability to apply for or to   receive any license, permit, or other authority or privilege covered  by   the  certificate;  provided,  however, that a conviction for a second or   subsequent violation  of  any  subdivision  of  section  eleven  hundred   ninety-two of the vehicle and traffic law committed within the preceding   ten  years  shall  impose  a  disability  to  apply  for  or  receive an   operator's license during the period provided in such law; and  provided   further,  however, that a conviction for a class A-I felony or a violent   felony offense, as defined in subdivision one of section  70.02  of  the   penal  law,  shall impose a disability to apply for or receive a license   or permit issued pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law.3. A certificate of relief from disabilities shall  not,  however,  in   any  way  prevent any judicial, administrative, licensing or other body,   board or authority from relying upon the conviction specified therein as   the basis for the  exercise  of  its  discretionary  power  to  suspend,   revoke,  refuse to issue or refuse to renew any license, permit or other   authority or privilege.
