 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to filling  vacancies  on
   the state board of parole
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivisions 1 and 5 of section 259-b of the executive law,
 as amended by section 38-a of subpart A of part C of chapter 62  of  the
 laws of 2011, are amended to read as follows:
   1.  There  shall  be  in  the department a state board of parole which
 shall possess the powers and duties  hereinafter  specified.  The  board
 shall  function  independently  of  the  department regarding all of its
 decision-making functions, as well as any other powers and duties speci-
 fied in this article, provided, however, that administrative matters  of
 general  applicability  within the department shall be applicable to the
 board. Such board shall consist of  [not  more  than]  nineteen  members
 appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate. The
 term  of  office  of  each  member of such board shall be for six years;
 provided, however, that any member chosen to fill  a  vacancy  occurring
 otherwise  than by expiration of term shall be appointed for the remain-
 der of the unexpired term of the member whom he is to  succeed.  In  the
 event  of  the  inability to act of any member, the governor may appoint
 some competent informed person to act in his stead  during  the  contin-
 uance of such disability.
   5.  Each  member of the board shall receive for his services an annual
 salary to be fixed by the governor within the amount appropriated there-
 for. Each member of such board shall also receive his necessary expenses
 actually incurred in the discharge of his duties. AFTER APRIL FIRST, TWO
 THOUSAND EIGHTEEN, IF ANY VACANCY  SHALL  REMAIN  FOR  MORE  THAN  THREE
 MONTHS,  THE  ANNUAL COMPENSATION OF SITTING BOARD MEMBERS WILL BE WITH-
 HELD UNTIL THE BOARD IS AT FULL CAPACITY.  THE OFFICE OF THE STATE COMP-
 TROLLER SHALL WITHHOLD PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION UNTIL ALL VACANCIES  HAVE
 BEEN FILLED.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
