60.02 Authorized disposition; youthful offender.
When a person is to be sentenced upon a youthful offender finding, the
  court must impose a sentence as follows:
(1)  If the sentence is to be imposed upon a youthful offender finding
  which has been substituted for a conviction of an offense other  than  a
  felony,  the court must impose a sentence authorized for the offense for
  which the youthful offender finding was substituted, except that if  the
  youthful  offender  finding  was  entered  pursuant  to paragraph (b) of
  subdivision one of section 720.20 of the  criminal  procedure  law,  the
  court   must   not   impose  a  definite  or  intermittent  sentence  of
  imprisonment with a term of more than six months; or
(2) If the sentence is to be imposed upon a youthful offender  finding
  which  has  been  substituted for a conviction for any felony, the court
  must impose a sentence authorized to be imposed upon a person  convicted
  of  a class E felony provided, however, that the court must not impose a
  sentence of conditional discharge  or  unconditional  discharge  if  the
  youthful  offender  finding was substituted for a conviction of a felony
  defined in article two hundred twenty of this chapter.
(3) The provisions of section 60.35 of this article shall apply  to  a
  sentence  imposed upon a youthful offender finding and the amount of the
  mandatory surcharge and crime  victim  assistance  fee  which  shall  be
  levied  at  sentencing  shall  be  equal to the amount specified in such
  section for the offense of conviction for which  the  youthful  offender
  finding  was  substituted;  provided,  however  that the court shall not
  impose  the  sex  offender  registration  fee,  DNA  databank   fee   or
  supplemental  sex  offender victim fee, as defined in subparagraphs (iv)
  and (v) of paragraph (a) and paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section
  60.35 of this article, for  an  offense  in  which  the  conviction  was
  substituted with a youthful offender finding.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of law in this section, if the
  sentence  is  to  be  imposed upon a youthful offender finding which has
  been substituted for a conviction of prostitution or loitering  for  the
  purposes of prostitution provided that the person does not stand charged
  with  loitering  for  the  purpose of patronizing a prostitute, and such
  offense occurred when the person was sixteen or seventeen years of  age,
  the  court must impose a sentence authorized to be imposed upon a person
  convicted of a violation as defined  in  subdivision  three  of  section
  10.00  of the penal law and where the court imposes a revocable sentence
  authorized for a violation may order any  of  the  specialized  services
  enumerated in title eight-A of article six of the social services law or
  other  appropriate  services  made  available  to  persons  in  need  of
  supervision in accordance with article seven of the family court act.
