(1) For offenders convicted of crimes committed before
July 1, 1984, within fifteen days from the date of notice to the
department of corrections of the arrest and detention of the
alleged parole violator, he or she shall be personally served by
a state community corrections officer with a copy of the factual
allegations of the violation of the conditions of parole, and, at
the same time shall be advised of his or her right to an on-site
parole revocation hearing and of his or her rights and privileges
as provided in RCW 9.95.120 through 9.95.126. The alleged parole
violator, after service of the allegations of violations of the
conditions of parole and the advice of rights may waive the
on-site parole revocation hearing as provided in RCW 9.95.120,
and admit one or more of the alleged violations of the conditions
of parole. If the board accepts the waiver it shall either, (a)
reinstate the parolee on parole under the same or modified
conditions, or (b) revoke the parole of the parolee and enter an
order of parole revocation and return to state custody. A
determination of a new minimum sentence shall be made within
thirty days of return to state custody which shall not exceed the
maximum sentence as provided by law for the crime of which the
parolee was originally convicted or the maximum fixed by the
court.
If the waiver made by the parolee is rejected by the board
it shall hold an on-site parole revocation hearing under the
provisions of RCW 9.95.120 through 9.95.126.
(2) Offenders sentenced under RCW 9.94A.507 are subject to
the violation hearing process established in RCW 9.95.435.
