A 7201 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to sentencing

This bill changes sentencing rules for youthful offenders (individuals under 18) who receive a "youthful offender finding" instead of a felony conviction. It requires courts to impose sentences based on the type of felony involved: for felonies in specific articles (e.g., violent or sex offenses), sentences follow class E felony guidelines, including mandatory post-release supervision. For other felonies, standard class E felony sentencing applies, but judges cannot issue conditional/unconditional discharges in certain cases. The law takes effect immediately for offenses committed on or after the effective date.
