The terrorism sub-committee specifically deals with offenders who pose terrorism risks, ensuring experts from corrections, police, health, and justice agencies review their cases together. Without this regulation, the 2018 rules would have expired, potentially creating a gap in oversight for high-risk terrorism-related offenders."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
