Summarized by Rankin Johnson, OCDLA
POST-PRISON SUPERVISION — Permissible conditions
PPS condition prohibiting intimate relationships without permission exceeded Board's statutory authority. Reversed.
Although the case was moot, a statute permitted review when a policy of a public body is contrary to law. The court decided the case on statutory grounds, and thus did not reach constitutional issues.
