Summary
Offenders with homicide commitments have original hearing dates set by administrative review. The original hearing date for these offenses may be many years in the future. The current rule does not allow any avenue for the offender to present new information and petition to change the original hearing date. The proposed rule allows an inmate to petition for a redetermination of the original hearing date. Additionally the Board used language more accessible to the public. (DAR NOTE: This change in proposed rule has been filed to make additional changes to a proposed amendment that was published in the July 1, 2015, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 44. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted. You must view the change in proposed rule and the proposed amendment together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)
