How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

1. Upon denying the parole of a prisoner, the Board shall schedule a rehearing. The date on which the rehearing is to be held is within the discretion of the Board, but, except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, the elapsed time between hearings must not exceed 3 years.

2. If the prisoner who is being considered for parole has more than 10 years remaining on the term of his or her sentence, not including any credits which may be allowed against his or her sentence, when the Board denies his or her parole, the elapsed time between hearings must not exceed 5 years.
