AI Summary
This bill amends the Executive Law to allow certain inmates aged 55 or older who have served at least 15 years of their sentence to be eligible for parole, even if they have not completed the minimum term of their sentence. The bill outlines specific exceptions, such as for those serving life sentences without parole or certain violent offenses. If the parole board determines the inmate is likely to live and remain at liberty without violating the law, and their release is not incompatible with the welfare of society, the board can grant them release to community supervision. The bill provides for reconsideration if release is initially denied and sets the effective date at 180 days after becoming law.
