NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Sections 77-27-9.5, 77-37-3, 77-37-4, 77-38-1, and 77-27-1 and Subsection 77-27-9(4) give the Board authority to hold offender hearings following specific criteria and define a victim, victim's rights, and parole proceedings. Rule R671-203 sets parameters around a victim's rights to attend, give statements and testimony, and how they are notified of parole hearings.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments were received related to this rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
