Chapter 255 - BOARD OF PAROLE AND POST-PRISON SUPERVISION
Division 62 - SETTING OF PAROLE DEFERRAL PERIODS
Section 255-062-0006 - When Parole Deferral Periods May Occur

(1) After the Board denies a petition for change in terms of confinement of an inmate convicted of aggravated murder or murder, the Board may not hold a subsequent hearing that is less than two years, or more than 10 years, from date petition is denied.

(2) After the Board denies a firm parole or post-prison supervision release date for certain inmates, the Board may not hold a subsequent hearing to consider granting a release date in less than two years, or more than 10 years, from date on which release on parole or post-prison supervision is denied.

(3) Upon finding that it is not reasonable to expect that the inmate would be granted a change in the terms of confinement, or not reasonable to expect that the inmate would be granted a firm release date, following two years, the Board will deliberate and select a deferral date of between two and 10 years from the date of the decision, or from the date of the inmate's current projected parole release date or current parole consideration date.
