1.

The Chief Parole and Probation Officer shall adopt by regulation standards to assist him or her in formulating a recommendation regarding the granting of probation or the revocation of parole or probation to a convicted person who is otherwise eligible for or on probation or parole. The standards must be based upon objective criteria for determining the person’s probability of success on parole or probation.

3.

The Chief Parole and Probation Officer shall adjust the standards to provide a recommendation of greater punishment for a convicted person who has a history of repetitive criminal conduct or who commits a serious crime, with a violent crime considered the most serious, than for a convicted person who does not have a history of repetitive crimes and did not commit a serious crime.

4.

When adopting regulations pursuant to this section, the Chief Parole and Probation Officer shall follow the procedure set forth in chapter 233B of NRS for the adoption of regulations.

The Chief Parole and Probation Officer shall report to each regular session of the Legislature:

(b)

Any recommendations regarding the standards.
