Bill Summary
Alters the composition of the state board of parole to include members who shall adequately reflect the composition of the prison population in race, age, and geographic area of residence.
AI Summary
This bill alters the composition of the New York State Board of Parole to ensure that its members adequately reflect the race, ethnicity, age, and geographic diversity of the state's prison population. The bill requires the governor to appoint between 15 to 19 board members, with the percentage of each demographic characteristic of the members being directly proportionate to that of the prison population. The current state board of parole is abolished, and new members are to be appointed before January 1, 2022, so that the reconstituted board can be fully operational on and after that date.
