A 4513 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to conviction sealing for eligible youth

This bill allows eligible youth who were not designated as youthful offenders by a court (but met the criteria for that status) to apply for conviction sealing. It expands sealing eligibility to include most offenses, excluding only serious felonies (like class A-I/A-II) and certain sex offenses, though it adds a pathway for armed felony convictions if judges find mitigating circumstances or minor involvement. Youth previously denied sealing under this process can reapply. The change directly affects young people seeking to clear certain criminal records, with specific court determinations required for some cases.
