§ 30:4-123.

a. A person who has been sentenced to a term of parole supervision and is on release

status in the community pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1997, c. 117 ( C.2C:43-7.2 ) shall, during the term of parole supervision, remain on release status in the community,

in the legal custody of the Commissioner of the Department of Corrections, and shall

be supervised by the Division of Parole of the State Parole Board as if on parole, and shall be subject to the provisions and

conditions set by the appropriate board panel. The appropriate board panel shall have the authority, in accordance with the procedures

and standards set forth in sections 15 through 21 of P.L.1979, c. 441 ( C.30:4-123.59 through 30:4-123.65 ), to revoke the person's release status and return the person to custody for the

remainder of the term or until it is determined, in accordance with regulations adopted

by the board, that the person is again eligible for release consideration pursuant

to section 9 of P.L.1979, c. 441 ( C.30:4-123.53 ). b. The Parole Board shall promulgate rules and regulations necessary to carry out

the purposes of this act pursuant to the “ Administrative Procedure Act ,” P.L.1968, c. 410 ( C.52:14B-1 et seq. ). c. A person who has been sentenced to a term of parole supervision for life pursuant

to section 2 of P.L.1994, c. 130 ( C.2C:43-6.4 ) shall, during the term of parole supervision, remain in the legal custody of the

Commissioner of Corrections, be supervised by the Division of Parole of the State

Parole Board, and be subject to the provisions and conditions set by the appropriate

board panel in accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in sections

15 through 19 and 21 of P.L.1979, c. 441 ( C.30:4-123.59 through 30:4-123.63 and 30:4-123.65 ). If the parolee violates a condition of a special sentence of parole supervision

for life, the parolee shall be subject to the provisions of sections 16 through 19

and 21 of P.L.1979, c. 441 ( C.30:4-123.60 through 30:4-123.63 and 30:4-123.65 ), and may be returned to prison. If revocation and return to custody are desirable pursuant to the provisions of

section 19 of P.L.1979, c. 441 ( C.30:4-123.63 ), the appropriate board panel shall revoke parole and return the parolee to prison

for a specified length of time between 12 and 18 months, which shall not be reduced

by commutation time for good behavior pursuant to R.S.30:4-140 or credits for diligent application of work and other institutional assignments pursuant

to R.S.30:4-92 ; provided, however, that nothing contained in this subsection shall be construed

or applied to reduce the time that must be served after revocation of parole by a

parolee returned to prison for a violation of a condition of any other term of parole

supervision. Upon the parolee's release from prison, the parolee shall continue to serve the

special sentence of parole supervision for life until released by the Superior Court

pursuant to subsection c. of section 2 of P.L.1994, c. 130 ( C.2C:43-6.4 ). For the purpose of calculating the limitation on time served pursuant to section

21 of P.L.1979, c. 441 ( C.30:4-123.65 ), the custodial term imposed upon the parolee related to the special sentence of

parole supervision for life shall be deemed to be a term of life imprisonment. For the purpose of establishing a primary parole eligibility date pursuant to subsection

h. of section 7 of P.L.1979, c. 441 ( C.30:4-123.51 ), the specific period of incarceration required to be served pursuant to this subsection

shall not be aggregated with a term of imprisonment imposed on the parolee for the

commission of any other offense. Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude or limit the prosecution

or conviction for any crime defined in any law of this State, or to limit in any manner

the State's ability to pursue both a criminal action and a parole violation pursuant

to the provisions of this section or any other law.
