b.The Parole Board shall promulgate rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purposes of this act pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.).
c.A person who has been sentenced to a term of parole supervision for life pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1994, c.130 (C.2C:43-6.4) shall, during the term of parole supervision, remain in the legal custody of the Commissioner of Corrections, be supervised by the Division of Parole of the State Parole Board, and be subject to the provisions and conditions set by the appropriate board panel in accordance with the procedures and standards set forth in sections 15 through 19 and 21 of P.L.1979, c.441 (C.30:4-123.59 through 30:4-123.63 and 30:4-123.65). If the parolee violates a condition of a special sentence of parole supervision for life, the parolee shall be subject to the provisions of sections 16 through 19 and 21 of P.L.1979, c.441 (C.30:4-123.60 through 30:4-123.63 and 30:4-123.65), and may be returned to prison. If revocation and return to custody are desirable pursuant to the provisions of section 19 of P.L.1979, c.441 (C.30:4-123.63), the appropriate board panel shall revoke parole and return the parolee to prison for a specified length of time between 12 and 18 months, which shall not be reduced by commutation time for good behavior pursuant to R.S.30:4-140 or credits for diligent application of work and other institutional assignments pursuant to R.S.30:4-92; provided, however, that nothing contained in this subsection shall be construed or applied to reduce the time that must be served after revocation of parole by a parolee returned to prison for a violation of a condition of any other term of parole supervision. Upon the parolee's release from prison, the parolee shall continue to serve the special sentence of parole supervision for life until released by the Superior Court pursuant to subsection c. of section 2 of P.L.1994, c.130 (C.2C:43-6.4).

Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude or limit the prosecution or conviction for any crime defined in any law of this State, or to limit in any manner the State's ability to pursue both a criminal action and a parole violation pursuant to the provisions of this section or any other law.
