The Chief shall take whichever action under subsection 1 the Chief deems appropriate within: (a) Fifteen days if the prisoner was paroled by the Board. (b) Thirty days if the prisoner was paroled by the authority of another state and is under supervision in this state pursuant to NRS 213.215 . This paragraph does not apply to a parolee who is retaken by an officer of the sending state. 3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, if a determination has been made that probable cause exists for the continued detention of a paroled prisoner, the Board shall consider the prisoners case within 60 days after his or her return to the custody of the Department of Corrections or his or her placement in residential confinement pursuant to subsection 1. 4. If probable cause for continued detention of a paroled prisoner is based on conduct which is the subject of a new criminal charge, the Board may consider the prisoners case under the provisions of subsection 3 or defer consideration until not more than 60 days after his or her return to the custody of the Department of Corrections following the final adjudication of the new criminal charge.
