46-23-1025. Report to and action by board. (1) If the hearings officer determines that there is probable cause to believe that the prisoner has violated a condition of parole, the probation and parole officer shall immediately notify the board and shall submit in writing a report showing in what manner the prisoner has violated the conditions of release. This report must be accompanied by the findings of the hearings officer.
     (2) Upon receipt of a report, the board shall cause the prisoner to be promptly brought before it for a hearing on the violation charged under rules that the board may adopt. If the violation is established, the board may continue or revoke the parole or conditional release or may enter an order as it sees fit.
     (3) If the prisoner has violated a condition of release requiring the payment of restitution, the board shall notify the victim of the offense prior to the hearing required by subsection (2) and give the victim an opportunity to be heard. If the board finds that due to circumstances beyond the prisoner's control, the prisoner is unable to make the required restitution payments, the board may not revoke the prisoner's parole for failure to pay restitution. The board may modify the time or method of making restitution and may extend the restitution schedule, but the schedule may not be extended beyond the period of state supervision over the prisoner.
     (4) If it appears that the prisoner has violated the provisions of release, the board shall determine whether the time from the issuing of the warrant to the date of the prisoner's arrest or any part of it will be counted as time served under the sentence.
