(A) If an offender is on post-prison supervision for multiple sentences which include a sentence that exceeds twelve (12) months ("Board case") and sentence of twelve (12)-months or less ("Local Supervisory Authority case"), the Board will maintain jurisdiction of the post-prison supervision of the Local Supervisory Authority case until the Board's active involvement in the Board case(s) expires. Following expiration of the Board's case(s), the Board will maintain jurisdiction over the post-prison supervision of the Local Supervisory Authority case(s) until an offender is re-released following revocation of the post-prison supervision for the Local Supervisory Authority case(s), or until the Local Supervisory Authority petitions to assume jurisdiction, whichever comes first. Jurisdiction will fall under the Local Supervisory Authority at that point. (B) If the Board issued the order of post-prison supervision for an offender whose only sentence was twelve (12) months or less, jurisdiction will remain with the Board until petition by the Supervisory Authority to assume jurisdiction or upon re-release following revocation of the post-prison supervision for that sentence; whichever comes first.
