	(a)  Any interested person, agency, or group may submit written information regarding any prisoner or parolee appearing before the board.  
	(b)  Except as set out in 22 AAC 20.105, the board will not permit the appearance of witnesses at discretionary parole hearings, parole rescission hearings, or special medical parole hearings. The board may make a rare exception due to exigent circumstances.  
	(c)  The board will permit the appearance of witnesses with relevant testimony called by the parolee or by the state at a parole revocation hearing. The board may also call witnesses on its own motion.  
	(d)  Before a witness testifies at a parole hearing, the board may require the party requesting the witness to make an offer of proof summarizing the content of the proposed testimony. The board will consider the offer of proof and permit the witness to appear and testify at the hearing if the board finds that the proposed testimony is relevant and material to the issues at the hearing.
