3041.1
. (a) Any time before an inmate's release, the Governor may
request review of a decision by a parole authority concerning the
grant or denial of parole to any inmate in a state prison. The
Governor shall state the reason or reasons for the request, and
whether the request is based on a public safety concern, a concern
that the gravity of current or past convicted offenses may have been
given inadequate consideration, or on other factors.
(b) If a request has been made, the request shall be reviewed by a
majority of commissioners specifically appointed to hear adult
parole matters and who are holding office at the time. In case of a
review, a vote in favor of parole by a majority of the commissioners
reviewing the request shall be required to grant parole to any
inmate. In carrying out any review, the board shall comply with this
chapter.
