TITLE 220 PAROLE BOARD Regulatory Analysis LSA Document #26-316 I. Description of Rule II. Fiscal Impact Analysis III. Impacted Parties IV. Changes in Proposed Rule 220 IAC 1.1-1-1-2 Definitions Capitalizing "Indiana Parole Board" throughout Grammatical Changing "chairman" to "chair" throughout Gender neutral language Capitalizing "Indiana Department of Corrections" throughout Grammatical Changing "offender" to "incarcerated individual" throughout This change is made so the language is more reflective of the language used in current DOC policy as well as industry standards. Adding definitions for lifetime parole conditions including "child/children" and "contact" Conforms with State Forms used by Parole Division to supervise sex and violent offenders on lifetime parole. The benefit to having the rules enumerated will increase transparency for supervised individuals. Changing the definition of intoxication from .10 to .08 Conforms with IC 9-30-5-1 By using the same standard that is used for our statute relating to operating a vehicle while intoxicated, the level of intoxication will be more readily comprehendible for law enforcement partners and inmates alike. Adding definition for "executive session" Added to clarify that IPB can deliberate without public and/or media presence. 220 IAC 1.1-1-3 "Vice Chairman; board election" removed in its entirety This section was removed because IPB has functioned without a vice chair since 2023; The reduction in this regulation conforms with EO 25-17. Rule 1 has two remaining sections and by eliminating this section, the Rule is effectively reduced by 50% and better conforms with the policies and practices of neighboring states (OH, IL, MI, KY) and states identified by OMB (ID and ND).
