        AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to the composition of the
          state board of parole

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  1  of section 259-b of the executive law, as
     2  amended by section 38-a of subpart A of part C of chapter 62 of the laws
     3  of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
     4    1. There shall be in the department a state board  of  parole  [which]
     5  that  shall  possess  the  powers  and duties hereinafter specified. The
     6  board shall function independently of the department  regarding  all  of
     7  its  decision-making  functions,  as well as any other powers and duties
     8  specified  in  this  article,  provided,  however,  that  administrative
     9  matters of general applicability within the department shall be applica-
    10  ble  to  the  board.  Such board shall consist of not more than nineteen
    11  members and not less than fifteen members appointed by the governor with
    12  the advice and consent of the senate.   In making  appointments  to  the
    13  board,  the  governor  shall ensure that the membership shall adequately
    14  reflect the composition of the prison population in race and  ethnicity,
    15  age, and geographic area of residence. The percentage of each demograph-
    16  ic characteristic of the members shall be directly proportionate to that
    17  of  the  prison  population.   The term of office of each member of such
    18  board shall be for six years; provided, however, that any member  chosen
    19  to  fill  a vacancy occurring otherwise than by expiration of term shall
    20  be appointed, in the manner specified above, for the  remainder  of  the
    21  unexpired  term of the member whom he or she is to succeed. In the event
    22  of the inability to act of any member, the  governor  may  appoint  some
    23  competent  informed person to act in his or her stead during the contin-
    24  uance of such disability.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
