§ 244.08 — Supervised Release Board
Plain-Language Summary
This law defines the powers of the Supervised Release Board. For crimes committed after May 1, 1980, the board's powers are limited to those described in the sentencing guidelines chapters. For crimes committed before that date, the board keeps its full traditional parole and release powers. The board must consider the sentencing guidelines but is not bound by them for older cases.
