Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to extending the maximum number of months for the reconsideration of denied applications for parole for certain felony offenses
AI Summary
This bill extends the maximum time period for parole board reconsideration of denied parole applications from 24 months to 60 months, but only for specific serious violent felony offenses. The "eligible felony offenses" include certain first and second-degree murder convictions, aggravated murder, and predatory sexual assault crimes, but only when the sentence is not life without parole. The bill modifies existing executive law to allow the parole board more time to review cases involving these serious offenses, potentially giving incarcerated individuals additional opportunities for parole consideration. The changes apply to both future and currently incarcerated individuals sentenced for these eligible class A felonies. The bill also makes several minor grammatical updates, such as replacing gendered language like "he or she" with more inclusive terms like "such incarcerated individual" or "their". The legislation is designed to provide a longer window for parole reconsideration while maintaining specific restrictions for the most serious violent crimes.
