SECTION 145.16. Action upon Special Review--Release Approved

(a) Responses received from trial officials or victims after a release to parole or release to mandatory supervision decision shall be considered information not previously available to the parole panel. Provided that release to parole or mandatory supervision has not occurred, the responses shall be referred to the parole panel or to the Board office corresponding to the parole panel that rendered the release to parole or release to mandatory supervision decision. A case reviewed by a parole panel, pursuant to the receipt of information not previously available to the parole panel, may then:

(1) be continued in a release to parole or release to mandatory supervision status with or without additional conditions of release imposed; or

(2) have the release to parole or release to mandatory supervision decision withdrawn and the next review date set by the parole panel in accordance with applicable provisions of Chapter 145 of this title (relating to Parole Process).

(b) Nothing in this rule is intended to restrict a parole panel member from reconsidering a release vote to parole or mandatory supervision.
