O'DONNELL, LENTOL, BRENNAN, AUBRY -- read once and referred to the Committee on Correction AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to enacting the New York state program for older prisoners act 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 known and may be cited as the "New York state program for older prisoners act". S 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that age has been found to be the most reliable predictor for recidivism and that older inmates pose a very low risk of recidivism. In order to develop more effective and cost-efficient treatment for the rising population of geriatric prisoners, the legislature directs the board to establish a program to consider the release of geriatric inmates who do not pose a public safety risk. It is further found and declared that it is the legislature's inten- tion to direct the board of parole to identify all eligible low-risk geriatric prisoners who are promising candidates for release and, where appropriate, to release them with adequate transitional programs, appro- priate levels of community supervision and to assist them to obtain aftercare services. S 3. Subdivision 3 of section 259 of the executive law, as added by section 37 of subpart A of part C of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows: 3. "Community supervision" means the supervision of individuals released into the community on temporary release, presumptive release, parole, conditional release, post release supervision [or], medical parole OR GERIATRIC PAROLE. S 4. Subdivision 1 of section 259-c of the executive law, as amended by section 38-b of subpart A of part C of chapter 62 of the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
