10
determine if there is cause to hold the person for a revocation
11
hearing. However, no preliminary hearing need be held when
12
revocation is based upon new criminal charges and a court
13
finds probable cause on the new criminal charges or when the
14
revocation is based upon a new criminal conviction and a
15
certified copy of that conviction is available.
16

(d) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
17
revoked without written notice to the offender setting forth
18
the violation of parole or mandatory supervised release

21
supervised release, the Prisoner Review Board must run a LEADS

4
least one member of the Prisoner Review Board. The Board may

13
or without modification or enlargement of the conditions.
14

(g) Parole or mandatory supervised release shall not be
15
revoked for failure to make payments under the conditions of
16
parole or release unless the Board determines that such
17
failure is due to the offender's willful refusal to pay.
