R671-514-4. Acceptance of Pleas

  (1) An offender may enter a plea of guilty or no contest at any time.

  (2) Before an offender pleads guilty or no contest at a revocation or evidentiary hearing, the hearing official shall explain to the offender that a no contest plea, if offered, will be treated for dispositional purposes and revocation as a guilty plea; that a revocation of parole may result in the offender being ordered to serve their full sentences to expiration; and that such a plea waives the offender's rights to:

  (a) a hearing at which the state would be required to prove parole violation allegations by a preponderance of the evidence;

  (b) the appointment of an attorney to assist the offender at an evidentiary hearing;

  (c) hear and see the evidence and testimony supporting the allegations;

  (d) confront and cross-examine any witnesses who testify regarding the violation allegations;

  (e) call witnesses and testify themselves regarding the violation allegations.

  (3) The hearing official shall receive an admission and plea from the offender on the record.

  (4) The hearing official may then receive information, statements, testimony or recommendations to assist the Board in its final determination and disposition of the revocation proceedings.
