1. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 3, the Division shall administer a risk and needs assessment to each
parolee under the Divisions supervision. The results of the risk and needs
assessment must be used to set a level of supervision for each parolee and to
develop individualized case plans pursuant to subsection 4. The risk and needs
assessment must be administered and scored by a person trained in the
administration of the tool.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection
3, on a schedule determined by the appropriate risk and needs assessment tool,
or more often if necessary, the Division shall administer a subsequent risk and
needs assessment to each parolee. The results of the risk and needs assessment
conducted in accordance with this subsection must be used to determine whether
a change in the level of supervision is necessary. The Division shall document
the reasons for maintaining or changing the level of supervision. If the
Division changes the level of supervision, the Division shall notify the
parolee of the change.
3. The provisions of subsections 1 and 2
are not applicable if the level of supervision for the parolee is set by law.

individualized case plan for each parolee. The case plan must include a plan
for addressing the criminogenic risk factors identified on the risk and needs
assessment, if applicable, and the list of responsivity factors that will need
to be considered and addressed for each parolee.
5. The risk and needs assessment required
under this section must undergo periodic validation studies in accordance with
the timeline established by the developer of the assessment. The Division shall
establish quality assurance procedures to ensure proper and consistent scoring
