     1    Section 1. Section 259-c of the executive law is amended by adding two
     2  new subdivisions 18 and 19 to read as follows:
     3    18. notwithstanding any other section of law, where a person serving a
     4  sentence  of  incarceration  has  served at least fifteen years of their
     5  sentence or sentences and has reached the age of fifty-five or  greater,
     6  conduct  an  interview  within  sixty  days  of the date of the person's
     7  fifty-fifth birthday or the last day of  the  fifteenth  year  of  their
     8  sentence,  whichever  is  later,  pursuant to section two hundred fifty-
     9  nine-i of this article  to  determine  whether  such  person  should  be
    10  released  to community supervision. If the board determines that release
    11  is  appropriate  pursuant  to  the  terms    of  section   two   hundred
    12  fifty-nine-i of this article, then the board shall release the person to
    13  community  supervision.    If  release  to  community supervision is not
    14  granted, the person shall be informed in writing  within  two  weeks  of
    15  such  appearance  of  the  factors  and  reasons  for the denial of such
    16  release and the board shall specify a date  not  more  than  twenty-four
    17  months  from  such determination for reconsideration, and the procedures

     1  to be followed upon reconsideration shall be the  same.  If  release  to
     2  community supervision is granted, the board shall set release conditions
     3  and  the  provisions of this section shall otherwise apply as though the
     4  person was released after the completion of his or her minimum sentence.
     5  The  release  assessment  and determination required by this subdivision

    13  include: (i) the number  of  parole  interviews  held  pursuant  to  the
    14  requirements  of subdivision eighteen of this section; (ii) the outcomes
