Section 259-O. Interstate hearings for parole violations

1.  For  the
  purposes of  this  section,  "preliminary  violation  hearing"  means  a
  hearing  to  determine  whether  there are reasonable grounds to believe
  that a person released on parole has  violated  the  conditions  of  his
  parole.
    2.  Whenever  there  is  reasonable  cause  to  believe  that a person
  released on parole in another state but under the parole supervision  of
  this  state pursuant to section two hundred fifty-nine-m of this article
  has violated the conditions thereof, a member or designee of  the  board
  of  parole, upon request of the sending state, may conduct a preliminary
  violation hearing unless such hearing is waived by the parolee.
    3. Whenever there  is  reasonable  cause  to  believe  that  a  person
  released  on  parole  in  this state but under the parole supervision of
  another state pursuant to  section  two  hundred  fifty-nine-m  of  this
  article  has violated the conditions thereof, any person duly authorized
  in such other state to  conduct  preliminary  violation  hearings,  upon
  request  of  the  chairman  of  the  board  of  parole, may conduct such
  hearing, unless such hearing is waived by the parolee.  The  preliminary
  violation  hearing  and  the  determinations made thereat shall have the
  same force and effect as preliminary violation hearing conducted in this
  state by the board of parole or  a  member,  hearing  officer  or  panel
  thereof.
    4.  Whenever  a  preliminary violation hearing is conducted in another
  state pursuant to this section, the alleged violator must be afforded  a
  final  hearing  within  ninety  days from the date of his return to this
  state.
