AN ACT to amend the executive  law,  in  relation  to  the  retaking  of
  certain persons absconding from parole or other conditional release

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Short title. This act shall be know and  may  be  cited  as
"Cesar's law".
  S  2. Paragraph (i) of subdivision 3 of section 259-i of the executive
law, as amended by section 38-f-1 of subpart A of part C of  chapter  62
of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
  (i)  Where  there  is  reasonable  cause to believe that a presumptive
releasee, parolee, conditional releasee  or  person  under  post-release
supervision  has  absconded  from supervision the board may declare such
person to be delinquent. IF SUCH PERSON HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN CONVICTED OF
A CLASS A FELONY OFFENSE, OTHER THAN A CLASS A FELONY OFFENSE DEFINED IN
ARTICLE TWO HUNDRED TWENTY OF THE PENAL LAW, OR A VIOLENT FELONY OFFENSE
AS DEFINED IN SECTION 70.02 OF THE PENAL LAW, THE  BOARD  SHALL  DECLARE
SUCH  PERSON  TO  BE  DELINQUENT  AND  A WARRANT SHALL BE ISSUED FOR THE
RETAKING OF SUCH PERSON AND FOR HIS OR HER TEMPORARY DETENTION ACCORDING
TO THE RULES OF THE BOARD, AND THE BOARD SHALL  IMMEDIATELY  NOTIFY  THE
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY HAVING JURISDICTION OF THE LOCALITY IN WHICH SUCH
ABSCONDER  RESIDES.  This  paragraph shall not be construed to deny such
person a preliminary revocation hearing upon his OR HER retaking, nor to
relieve the department of any obligation it may  have  to  exercise  due
diligence to retake the alleged absconder, nor to relieve the parolee or
releasee  of any obligation he OR SHE may have to comply with the condi-
tions of his OR HER release.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
