Any compliance credits awarded pursuant to this section based on actions for which parole revocation proceedings were initiated, but did not result in a revocation of parole and return to custody, shall be forfeited upon a determination by the board panel or board that the actions for which compliance credits were awarded violated a condition of parole.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit a parolee's eligibility to receive public health emergency credits pursuant to section 8 of P.L.2020, c.111 (C.30:4-123.55f).
