Repeals section 259-j of the executive law relating to the discharging of a person's sentence by the board of parole
S 8554 would repeal Section 259-j of New York's Executive Law, which previously governed how the Board of Parole could discharge a person's sentence. This bill removes that specific provision from the law without altering the broader parole process. The repeal takes immediate effect upon enactment. The bill does not change current parole procedures but eliminates this particular legal rule.
