Felony Grand Larceny in New York, Bill-A04958

[bambu456]

Ive been following this bill. First question is when might this bill become official?

The next question that I have is will my crime be eligible for the second chance program. Again I have a "D" Felony for Grand Larceny. After reading the summary of the bill it states:

Eligible individuals are specified as persons who have been convicted of no more than two non-violent, non-sexual felonies involving the sale, distribution or possession of controlled substances and not more than
two misdemeanors.


Again my crime was non violent, non sexual, and non drug related. Will I be eligible? I don't understand why they choose only some felonies to be eligible for this program. Please help...
