24-15A-59. Grant or denial of compassionate parole--Reconsideration--Removal from consideration.
The board may grant or deny a compassionate parole. If denied the board shall set the date for the next consideration of compassionate parole not to exceed one year. The board may elect to review the inmate sooner than one year. If the inmate no longer meets the criteria for compassionate parole as set forth in §24-15A-55, the inmate's health care provider or the warden shall notify the secretary of corrections. The secretary may remove the inmate from compassionate parole consideration. An inmate removed from compassionate parole consideration is subject to applicable parole provisions under chapters 24-13, 24-15, and 24-15A notwithstanding the provisions of §§24-15A-55 to 24-15A-68, inclusive, or a pending compassionate parole hearing. If an inmate is released on compassionate parole and is compliant with the terms of the inmate's supervision, no longer meeting the criteria for compassionate parole in §24-15A-55 does not constitute grounds for parole revocation.
