motion to reopen under §146.11 of this title (relating to Releasee's
Motion to Reopen Hearing or Reinstate Supervision) by granting said
motion to reopen the hearing, the case shall be disposed of or referred
to a parole panel or designee of the board for final disposition in
accordance with this section and the previous disposition of the case
made by the parole panel under §146.10 of this title (relating
to Final Board Disposition) shall be set aside and shall be of no
force and effect.
(b) The purpose of the further proceedings before the
parole panel or designee of the board under this section shall be
as specified by the parole panel in its order granting the releasee's
motion to reopen pursuant to §146.11(d)(1) of this title.
(c) When the parole panel or designee of the board
convenes the reopening of the hearing, it shall have before it the
entire record previously compiled in the case, including:

hearing under §146.7 of this title (relating to Preliminary Hearing)
or revocation hearing under §146.9 of this title (relating to

parole panel or designee of the board, or within a reasonable time
thereafter, the parole panel shall make final disposition of the case
