Nev. Admin. Code § 213.522

Current through December 12, 2024
Section 213.522 - Reassessment of severity level of crime
1. If the Board denies parole, the Board will not consider a request for the Board to reassess the severity level of the crime for which parole was denied unless:
(a) The Department of Corrections determines that the severity level assigned to the crime pursuant to NAC 213.512 should have been lower and advises the Board, in writing, of its determination; and
(b) The prisoner mails a request to the State Board of Parole Commissioners, 1677 Old Hot Springs Road, Suite A, Carson City, Nevada 89706, not later than 45 days after the meeting at which the Board considered whether to grant parole.
2. If the Board receives a request from a prisoner for the Board to reassess the severity level of a crime and the Department of Corrections has advised the Board that the severity level assigned to the crime should have been lower, the Executive Secretary of the Board or an employee of the Board designated by the Board must apply the lower severity level to establish a new initial assessment regarding whether to grant parole in the manner set forth in NAC 213.516.
3. If the new initial assessment established pursuant to subsection 2 is more favorable to the prisoner than the initial assessment established before the reassessment of the severity level, the Board will, as soon as practicable, schedule a meeting to reconsider whether to grant parole to the prisoner.
