(1) When an offender with a mental illness 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 illness, including: (a) all available clinical facts; (b) the diagnosis; (c) the course of treatment received at the mental health facility; (d) the prognosis for remission of symptoms; (e) potential for recidivism; (f) an estimation of the dangerousness of the offender with a mental illness either to self or others; and (g) recommendations for future treatment.

(a) all available clinical facts;

(b) the diagnosis;

(c) the course of treatment received at the mental health facility;

(d) the prognosis for remission of symptoms;

(e) potential for recidivism;

(f) an estimation of the dangerousness of the offender with a mental illness either to self or others; and

(g) recommendations for future treatment.

(3) Based on the report described in Subsection (2), the board may place the offender with a mental illness 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.

(4) UDC, through Adult Probation and Parole, shall monitor the status of an offender with a mental illness who has been placed on parole. UDC may provide treatment by contracting with the department, a local mental health authority, any other public or private provider, or in-house staff.

(5) The board may not subsequently reduce the period of parole without considering an updated report on the offender's current mental condition.
