The long-debated controversial Clean Slate Act — which will automatically seal most criminal records — has passed both houses of the state Legislature.

During a marathon session late Friday night, lawmakers voted to adopt the bill as they push through the weekend to wrap up their business for the year.

The legislation, which still must be signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul, wipes a New Yorker’s conviction record clean three years after sentencing for misdemeanors, and eight years for felonies.

There are exceptions as most “Class A” felonies – including murder, terrorism, kidnapping and many sex crimes – won’t be sealed.

Drug-related felonies will be wiped clean.

Proponents of the bill say it’s needed to help ex-cons rejoin society after serving their sentences.

“This bill enhances justice, which is the true source of public safety in our state,” said state Sen. Zellnor Myrie (D-Brooklyn), who sponsored the bill.

However, some opponents of the legislation say they believe it has nothing to do with second chances and will only make New Yorkers less safe.

“This is simply an attempt to mislead potential employers, landlords and the general public about a person’s history,” Assemblyman Michael Tannousis (R-Staten Island) said.

“When a defendant is in court and decides to either plea bargain their case or take their case to trial, they do so with the understanding that the charge will appear on the person’s record.”

Hochul has yet to say whether she’ll support the final version of the bill.

In other business, a proposal to allow New York City to lower speed limits to 20 m.p.h. remained stalled Saturday in the state Assembly despite sailing through the state Senate.

Lawmakers on Saturday, however, passed legislation to make Diwali — a major Hindu religious festival observed in October or November as designated by the Indian calendar — a New York City school holiday.

It also passed a bill to make Lunar New Year, celebrated in January or February, a statewide holiday.
