§ 35-38-1-29 — Lifetime parole for sexually violent predators not committed to the department of correction

(a) This section applies only to a sexually
violent predator, including a person who is a sexually violent predator
by operation of law for committing an offense under IC 35-38-1-7.5(b).
(b) If a court imposes a sentence on a person described in subsection
(a) that does not involve a commitment to the department of correction,
the court shall order the parole board to place the person on lifetime
parole and supervise the person in the same manner that the parole
board supervises a sexually violent predator who has been released
from imprisonment and placed on lifetime parole under IC 35-50-6-1(e).
(c) If a person described in subsection (b) is also required to be
supervised by a court, a probation department, a community corrections
program, a community transition program, or another similar program
upon the person's release from imprisonment, the parole board may:
(1) supervise the person while the person is being supervised by
the other supervising agency; or
(2) permit the other supervising agency to exercise all or part of
the parole board's supervisory responsibility during the period in
which the other supervising agency is required to supervise the
person;
in accordance with IC 35-50-6-1(g).
