Ninth Step action: Which option describes it?

• A. Deliver hearing packet 7 days before hearing
• B. Prepare an assessment report
• C. Schedule the next hearing
• D. Provide Hearing/Waiver report within 3 days of Board decision

Answer: (D)

After the board makes its decision, the ninth step centers on timely post-hearing documentation. The action is to provide the Hearing/Waiver report within three days of that decision. This quick turnaround ensures the official record is accurate and current, and it promptly informs all involved parties—such as the offender, their counsel, and the board—about the outcome and any waivers granted. It supports accountability and keeps the case moving smoothly through the system. Tasks like delivering the hearing packet before the hearing, preparing an assessment report, or scheduling the next hearing happen earlier in the process or serve different purposes, so they don’t reflect the post-decision reporting focus of the ninth step.
