THE PRELIMINARY TEXT OF THE PROPOSED RULE DEVELOPMENT IS:

33-601.105 Restoration of Forfeited Gain Time.

Restoration of gain time as a positive management tool. Gain time that has been forfeited under the current commitment as a result of disciplinary action or revocation of parole, provisional release, supervised community release, conditional medical release, control release, or conditional release shall be subject to restoration when the restoration would produce the same or greater benefits as those derived from the forfeiture in the first place. Only those inmates whose adjustment and performance since their last disciplinary report or revocation of parole, provisional release, supervised community release, conditional medical release, control release, or conditional release has exceeded that which is required to comply with all the behavioral objectives are eligible for consideration. The restoration shall only be considered when the inmate has clearly performed positively over a period of time and it appears the inmate will continue this positive adjustment without further violating the rules of the department or the laws of the state and the inmate is serving that portion of the sentence which, but for the forfeiture of gain time, would have been completed.
