AI Summary

  • Amends New York's Clean Slate law (Section 160.57 of criminal procedure law) to address technical issues with automatic sealing of criminal records

  • Adds new provisions for sealing infractions or noncriminal violations when they originate from the same docket or accusatory instrument as other criminal convictions that have become eligible for sealing

  • Removes the limitation that supervision prohibition applies only to "the conviction eligible for sealing," now requiring the defendant not be under any probation or parole supervision to qualify for sealing

  • Maintains existing waiting periods for sealing: 3 years after release or sentencing for misdemeanors, 8 years for felonies

  • Preserves existing exclusions from sealing eligibility, including sex offenses, most Class A felonies, and certain out-of-state felony convictions or pending charges

Legislative Description

Makes technical corrections to the clean slate law to correct issues relating to multicategory conviction dockets and the conviction-specific supervision prohibitor.
