Relates to the state board of parole members

This bill (S 3977) amends the state law governing the parole board by mandating a minimum of nineteen members, replacing the previous "not more than" language. The governor appoints board members with Senate approval for six-year terms, and the change ensures the board maintains a specific minimum size. The bill directly affects the structure of the parole board's composition but does not alter parole decision-making processes or policies. It requires the board to function independently in decision-making while adhering to department-wide administrative rules.
