 Introduced by Sen. MYRIE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to making tech-
 nical corrections to the clean slate law to correct issues relating to
 multicategory conviction dockets and the conviction-specific super-
 vision prohibitor

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 160.57 of the
 2 criminal procedure law, as added by chapter 631 of the laws of 2023, is
 3 amended to read as follows:
 4 (b) Criminal convictions shall be sealed upon satisfaction of the
 5 following conditions:
 6 (i) for a misdemeanor conviction, at least three years have passed
 7 from the defendant's release from incarceration or the imposition of
 8 sentence if there was no sentence of incarceration. If the defendant is
 9 subsequently convicted of a crime before a prior conviction is sealed
 10 pursuant to this section, the calculation of time for such prior
 11 conviction shall start upon the same date as the time calculation starts
 12 for the subsequent criminal conviction;
 13 (ii) for a felony conviction, at least eight years have passed from
 14 the date the defendant was last released from incarceration for the
 15 sentence of the conviction eligible for sealing or from the imposition
 16 of sentence if there was no sentence of incarceration. A defendant's
 17 detention for an alleged violation of parole or post-release supervision
 18 shall not interfere with the time calculation prescribed herein unless
 19 and until supervision is revoked resulting in the defendant's reincar-
 20 ceration. If the defendant is subsequently convicted of a crime before a
 21 prior conviction is sealed pursuant to this section, the calculation of
 22 time for such prior conviction shall start upon the same date as the
 23 time calculation starts for the subsequent criminal conviction;
