✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution urges New York State lawmakers and the Governor to pass a bill that would make incarcerated people aged 55 and older eligible for parole consideration. The goal is to allow older individuals who may pose little public safety risk to be reviewed for early release. This would affect New Yorkers currently serving time in state prisons and their families across the five boroughs.
