 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to allowing victim impact
 statements to be submitted at parole revocation hearings

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subparagraphs (iii) and (x) of paragraph (f) of subdivision
 2 3 of section 259-i of the executive law, as amended by chapter 427 of
 3 the laws of 2021, are amended to read as follows:
 4 (iii) (A) Both the alleged violator and an attorney who has filed a
 5 notice of appearance on [his or her] the alleged violator's behalf in
 6 accordance with the rules of the board of parole shall be given written
 7 notice of the date, place and time of the hearing pursuant to subpara-
 8 graph (ix) of paragraph (c) of this subdivision.
 9 (B) Upon the request of a victim of a crime for which the alleged
 10 violator is on parole, the department shall inform the victim by letter
 11 of the date, place and time of the hearing. As used in this paragraph,
 12 "victim" has the meaning specified in section 440.50 of the criminal
 13 procedure law.
 14 (x) (A) If the presiding officer is satisfied that there is clear and
 15 convincing evidence that the alleged violator violated one or more
 16 conditions of release in an important respect, [he or she] the presiding
 17 officer shall so find. For each sustained technical violation the
 18 presiding officer shall direct that no earned time credits shall be
 19 awarded for the thirty day period commencing from the date of the
 20 sustained violation. For any absconding violation found, the presiding
 21 officer shall direct that no earned time credits shall be awarded for
 22 the entire time period during which a releasee was found to have
 23 absconded from supervision.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
