Hearings are scheduled for the second Friday of the month in March, June, September and December. The hearings are open to the public. In certain cases, the Board chairperson may schedule a special hearing in accordance with the bylaws (PDF) to hear a petition. At the hearing, the Board hears oral statements, deliberates and votes whether to recommend to the Governor that relief be granted.
