Relates to the discharging of certain sentences

This bill (S 5019) expands eligibility for early sentence termination by making **all felony convictions** eligible for discharge, removing prior restrictions that excluded certain felonies under New York's Penal Law. It directly affects individuals serving felony sentences under community supervision who have completed **three consecutive years** without revocation. The parole board may grant discharge if it determines this is in society's best interest, provided the person has made a good-faith effort to pay restitution, fees, and surcharges. The discharge ends the sentence entirely for the affected offense, with no automatic eligibility. This changes the current law by removing exclusions for specific felony types.
