(a) Scheduling. If the prisoner is scheduled to be released within 20 days, a criminal prosecution is pending, and the criminal prosecution will not terminate before the scheduled release date, Department staff shall schedule a pre-rescission hearing. The prisoner may waive the pre-rescission hearing.

A prisoner who has had or has waived a pre-rescission hearing on any one charge which alone is sufficiently serious to postpone or rescind the release date, is not entitled to a pre-rescission hearing on any other charges.

(b) Time Limits. Pre-rescission hearings should occur before the scheduled release date. Any delay beyond the scheduled release date must be authorized by the Board at the central office calendar.
