Rule R671-301. Personal Appearance.

As in effect on August 1, 2009

Table of Contents

R671-301-1. Personal Appearance.

By statute, the Board or its designee is required to convene at least one public hearing for all offenders except those serving life without parole or death. In rehearings, the offender is afforded all the rights and considerations afforded in the initial hearing except as provided by other Board rules because the setting of a parole date is still at issue.

An offender has the right to be present at a parole grant, rehearing, or parole violation hearing if in the state (UCA 77-27-7). The offender may speak present documents, ask, and answer questions. In the event an offender waives this right, or refuses to personally attend the hearing the Board may proceed with the hearing and issuance of a decision.

If an offender is housed out of state the Board may elect one of the following procedures:

1. The offender may waive the right to be present.

2. Request the Warden to return the offender to the state for the hearing.

3. A courtesy hearing may be conducted by the appropriate paroling authority of the custodial state. A request along with a complete copy of Utah's record shall be forwarded for the hearing. All reports, a record of the hearing, and a recommendation shall be returned to the Utah Board for final action.

4. An individual Board member or designee may travel to the custodial facility and conduct the hearing, record the proceeding, and make a recommendation for the Board's final decision.

5. A hearing may be conducted by way of conference telephone call.
