HA 2.05(7)(b)5.
5. Decide, if supervision is revoked, whether the client is entitled to any sentence credits under s.
973.155, Stats.
HA 2.05(7)(c)
(c) If the administrative law judge finds that the client did not violate the rules or conditions of supervision, revocation shall not result and the client shall continue with supervision under the established rules and conditions.
HA 2.05(7)(d)
(d) The administrative law judge shall issue a written decision based upon the evidence with findings of fact and conclusions of law stating the reasons to revoke or not revoke the client's supervision. The administrative law judge may, but is not required to, announce the decision at the hearing.
HA 2.05(7)(e)
(e) If an administrative law judge decides to revoke the offender's parole, the decision shall apply the criteria established in

ch. 302, Stats., and, for mandatory release parolees, whether the offender may earn additional good time; or
HA 2.05(7)(f)

302.113 (9) (am), Stats., the administrative law judge shall include a determination of the period of reconfinement taking into consideration the following criteria:
HA 2.05(7)(f)3.
3. The offender's conduct and behavior while on community supervision;
HA 2.05(7)(f)4.
4. The amount of reconfinement that is necessary to protect the public from the risk of further criminal activity, to prevent the undue depreciation of the seriousness of the violation or to provide confined correctional treatment.
HA 2.05(7)(g)
(g) If an administrative law judge decides to revoke a period of extended supervision for a person serving a life sentence under s.
302.114 (9) (am), Stats., the decision shall consider the criteria established in
s. HA 2.05 (7) (f), and shall include a determination of the period of time for which the person shall be incarcerated before being eligible for release to extended supervision.
HA 2.05(7)(h)
(h) The administrative law judge's decision shall be written and forwarded within 10 days after the hearing to the client, the client's attorney, if any, and the department's representative. An extension of 5 days is permitted if there is cause for the extension and the administrative law judge notifies the parties of the reasons for it.
HA 2.05(7)(i)
(i) The administrative law judge's decision shall take effect and be final 10 days after the date it is issued unless the client or the client's attorney, if any, or the department's representative files an appeal under
sub. (8).
HA 2.05(8)(a)(a) The client, the client's attorney, if any, or the department representative may appeal the administrative law judge's decision by filing a written appeal with arguments and supporting materials, if any, with the administrator within 10 days of the date of the administrative law judge's written decision.

HA 2.05(9)(b)
