Section 45-200-2 - Single board member hearings; review and appeals

(a) If a single board member conducts a parole hearing, the findings of that member shall be reviewed and approved in accordance with K.S.A. 22-3709, and amendments thereto, before the findings and decision become final. If there is a disagreement between the member who conducted the hearing and the member who reviewed the findings, the decision shall be submitted for review by another board member. The presence of the inmate shall not be required at either of these reviews.

(b) A request to reconsider a board decision shall be granted only on the basis that the inmate has new information that was unavailable at the prior hearing. Each request for reconsideration shall be made to the board in writing and shall detail the new evidence that was unavailable at the prior hearing. The presence of the inmate shall not be required when the matter is reconsidered.

(c) An inmate who is appealing a sentence or conviction shall not be adversely affected in the parole process or deliberations. However, the parole hearing may be continued by the board for a reasonable time for the purpose of clarifying the status of the appeal to make certain that the board is considering the applicant's parole suitability with respect to the proper sentence.
