The provisions of this rule [now 22.510.9 NMAC] apply to all inmates and all parolees. A majority of two board members is required to grant, deny, revoke a parole, or set parole conditions or approve a parole plan. If only two members of the board are present at any hearing and a tie vote results, then the matter will be deferred and resubmitted to the full board for decision.
