Section 1. Subdivision 1 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, is 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.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, BEGINNING AUGUST FIRST, TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN, THE
NUMBER OF MEMBERS APPOINTED SHALL BE AT LEAST NINETEEN. 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 remainder 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 continuance of such disa-
bility. PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT ALL NEW APPOINTMENTS SHALL BE MADE SO
THAT THE RACIAL AND ETHNIC MAKEUP OF SUCH BOARD RESEMBLES THE RACIAL AND
ETHNIC MAKEUP OF THE STATE'S PRISON POPULATION.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
