ID S1136

Hearing officers and commission members must enter a parole revocation decision within 20 days after a factual hearing concludes, or upon acceptance of a waiver.

If parole violation allegations are not proven by preponderance of evidence, the parolee shall be reinstated on parole with same or modified conditions.

For first parole violations (non-felony/non-violent misdemeanor), confinement is up to 90 days; for second violations up to 180 days; for third or subsequent violations, a dispositional hearing must convene to determine return to state custody.

Parole violations involving absconding supervision result in up to 180 days confinement for first offense, with second or subsequent offenses requiring a dispositional hearing for parole revocation.

Confinement periods may be reduced by up to 30 days if no misconduct occurs during confinement, and parolees shall be released to parole supervision upon completing their term.
