     5  ing or authorizing the accusatory instrument filed against a youth to be
     6  sealed, and the arraignment and all proceedings  in  the  action  to  be
     7  conducted in private shall not apply in connection with a pending charge
     8  of  committing  any  felony  offense as defined in the penal law, except
     9  where such felony offense charges the youth as  an  adolescent  offender
    10  subject to removal proceedings to the family court under subdivision one
    11  of  section 722.23 of this title and the court has made no determination
    12  denying removal. The provisions of subdivision one requiring the accusa-
    13  tory instrument filed against a youth to be sealed shall not apply where

    15  convicted of a crime.
    16    §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
    17  have become a law.
