C. The secretary may promulgate rules and regulations regarding the restoration of previously forfeited good time for disciplinary violations or credits toward the reduction of the projected good time parole supervision date. In order to be eligible for restoration of good time or credits toward the reduction of the projected good time parole supervision date which has been previously forfeited, the inmate shall not have been found guilty of any major rule violation for a consecutive twenty-four month period and shall not have been found guilty of a minor rule violation for a consecutive six-month period. Restoration of previously forfeited good time or credits toward the reduction of the projected good time parole supervision date shall not exceed five hundred forty days.

The rules shall be adopted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.  1 The rules shall provide that an inmate has the right to a hearing on any charges which are punishable by the forfeiture of good time or credits toward the reduction of the projected good time parole supervision date and that the inmate may waive that right. The rules shall be consistent with and shall implement the provisions of the constitutional, statutory, and jurisprudential requirements which govern the forfeiture of good time or credits toward the reduction of the projected good time parole supervision date.
