AI Summary
-
Amends Executive Law Section 259-l to require the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to prioritize placement of inmates into assigned programs when the inmate appears before the parole board before program completion through no fault of their own.
-
Adds language specifying that program incompletion must be "by no fault of the inmate" as a condition triggering the department's duty to prioritize program placement.
-
Removes the word "immediate" from the requirement that such inmates be placed into their assigned programs, changing the standard from immediate placement to prioritized placement.
-
Ties the effective date of this amendment to the effective date of the 2017 legislation (S. 5494-A and A. 6353-B) that originally established the program enrollment requirements.
