(1) When an offender with a mental condition who has been committed to the department becomes eligible to be considered for parole, the board shall request a recommendation from the executive director and from UDC before placing the offender on parole.
(2) Before setting a parole date, the board shall request that its mental health adviser prepare a report regarding the offender with a mental condition, including: all available clinical facts; the diagnosis; the course of treatment received at the mental health facility; the prognosis for remission of symptoms; potential for recidivism; an estimation of the dangerousness of the offender with a mental condition either to self or others; and recommendations for future treatment.
(3) Based on the report described in Subsection, the board may place the offender with a mental condition on parole. The board may require mental health treatment as a condition of parole. If treatment is ordered, failure to continue treatment, except by agreement with the treatment provider, and the board, is a basis for initiation of parole violation hearings by the board. (2)
