A. Parole hearings may not be held for inmates confined in a State mental hospital, unless the Commission, in its discretion, and upon the recommendation of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, elects to hold a parole hearing at the State mental hospital where the inmate resides.

B. Whenever an inmate is transferred back to the Department of Correction by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, a hearing will be scheduled on the date set by the Commission at any prior parole hearing.
