I.D No. COR-11-08-00001-P
Adirondack Correctional Facility
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed action:
This is a consensus rule making to amend section 100.6 of Title 7 NYCRR.
Statutory authority:
Correction Law, section 70
Subject:
Adirondack Correctional Facility.
Purpose:
To expand the age range of inmates that can be assigned to the facility.
Text of proposed rule:
Amend 7 NYCRR, Section 100.6 as follows:
(a) There shall be in the department an institution to be known as Adirondack Correctional Facility, which shall be located in Essex County at Ray Brook, NY 12977, and which shall consist of the property under the jurisdiction of the department at that location.
(b) Such institution shall be a correctional facility for males 16[21] years of age or older.
(c) Adirondack Correctional Facility shall be classified as a medium security facility, to be used for general confinement purposes.
Text of proposed rule and any required statements and analyses may be obtained from:
Anthony J. Annucci, Deputy Commissioner and Counsel, Department of Correctional Services, Bldg. 2, State Campus, Albany, NY 12226-2050, (518) 457-4951, e-mail: AJAnnucci@docs. state.ny.us
Data, views or arguments may be submitted to:
Same as above.
Public comment will be received until:
45 days after publication of this notice.
Consensus Rule Making Determination
The Department of Correctional Services has determined that no person is likely to object to the proposed amendment as it merely increases the age range of inmates that can be assigned to Adirondack Correctional Facility. Consistent with Correction Law Section 70(5)(c), the age range of persons who may be confined in a facility must be specified in the Department's rules. This amendment allows the Commissioner increased flexibility with regard to the internal management function of distributing the statewide inmate population in the best interest of the Public Safety and welfare and the rehabilitation of the inmate population.
Job Impact Statement
A job impact statement is not submitted because this proposed rule will have no adverse impact on jobs or employment opportunities.
