 3 486 of the laws of 2022, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (i) Except as provided in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, at

 7 law, a member or members as determined by the rules of the board shall
 8 personally interview such incarcerated individual and determine whether
 9 [he or she] such incarcerated individual should be paroled in accordance
 10 with the guidelines adopted pursuant to subdivision four of section two

 12 review, the incarcerated individual shall be informed in writing within
 13 two weeks of such appearance of the factors and reasons for such denial

 20 nation for reconsideration and the procedures to be followed for recon-
 21 sideration shall be the same. For the purposes of this section an
