 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to findings of the  state
   board  of  parole  necessary for discretionary release of incarcerated
   individuals on parole
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subparagraph  (A)  of  paragraph  (c) of subdivision 2 of
 section 259-i of the executive law, as amended by  chapter  322  of  the
 laws of 2021, is amended to read as follows:
   (A)  [Discretionary  release] RELEASE on parole shall [not] be granted
 [merely as a reward for good conduct or efficient performance of  duties
 while confined but after considering if there is a reasonable probabili-
 ty  that,  if  such  incarcerated individual is released, he or she will
 live and remain at liberty without violating the law, and  that  his  or
 her release is not incompatible with the welfare of society and will not
 so deprecate the seriousness of his or her crime as to undermine respect
 for  law]  TO ANY INCARCERATED INDIVIDUAL APPEARING BEFORE THE BOARD WHO
 IS ELIGIBLE FOR RELEASE ON PAROLE, UNLESS THE PAROLE CASE RECORD  DEMON-
 STRATES  THERE  IS  A  CURRENT AND UNREASONABLE RISK THE INDIVIDUAL WILL
 VIOLATE THE LAW IF RELEASED AND SUCH RISK CANNOT BE MITIGATED BY  PAROLE
 SUPERVISION.    In making the [parole release decision] DETERMINATION AS
 TO WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL  POSES  A  CURRENT  AND  UNREASONABLE  RISK  OF
 VIOLATING THE LAW IF RELEASED, the procedures adopted pursuant to subdi-
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
