On page 12, line 35, after "department" insert ". The board shall also consider the incarcerated individual's lethality assessment based on an instrument and protocol that is used to determine the likelihood that the incarcerated individual will commit a homicide. The lethality determination may not be based exclusively on a numeric score, but must be based on a comprehensive understanding of the incarcerated individual's history and the professional determination of the person conducting the assessment. The incarcerated individual's lethality assessment must be based in evidence-based risk factors for homicide. The lethality assessment instrument and protocol must be empirically validated and reassessed at regular intervals to ensure its accuracy and that the results are not racially biased"
