Iowa Code § 908.6: Appeal or review.

The order of the administrative parole judge shall become the final decision of the board of parole unless, within the time provided by rule, the parole violator appeals the decision or a panel of the board reviews the decision on its own motion. On appeal or review of the administrative parole judge’s decision, the board panel has all the power which it would have in initially making the revocation hearing decision. The appeal or review shall be conducted pursuant to rules adopted by the board of parole. The record on appeal or review shall be the record made at the parole revocation hearing conducted by the administrative parole judge.
