 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to the state board of
 parole members

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 259-b of the executive law, as
 2 amended by section 38-a of subpart A of part C of chapter 62 of the laws
 3 of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
 4 1. There shall be in the department a state board of parole which
 5 shall possess the powers and duties hereinafter specified. The board
 6 shall function independently of the department regarding all of its
 7 decision-making functions, as well as any other powers and duties speci-
 8 fied in this article, provided, however, that administrative matters of
 9 general applicability within the department shall be applicable to the
 10 board. Such board shall consist of [not more than] at least nineteen
 11 members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the
 12 senate. The term of office of each member of such board shall be for six
 13 years; provided, however, that any member chosen to fill a vacancy
 14 occurring otherwise than by expiration of term shall be appointed for
 15 the remainder of the unexpired term of the member whom [he] such member
 16 is to succeed. In the event of the inability to act of any member, the
 17 governor may appoint some competent informed person to act in [his] such
 18 member's stead during the continuance of such disability.
 19 § 2. This act shall take effect one year after the date on which it
 20 shall have become a law.

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