New York A04513 amends Section 160.59 of the criminal procedure law by adding a new subdivision. This change allows eligible youth who were not given youthful offender status by the court to apply for conviction sealing. Conviction sealing involves expunging criminal records under certain conditions. The bill specifies that eligible youth can apply for sealing unless they were convicted of a class A-I or A-II felony, an armed felony, or a sex offense requiring registration. Youth convicted of armed felonies can still apply if mitigating factors exist.
