### sec.219 Power to require attendance The parole board may, by written notice (an attendance notice ) given to a person, require the person to attend a meeting of the board at a stated time and stated place— to give the board relevant information; or to produce a stated document containing relevant information. A person given an attendance notice must— attend as required by the attendance notice, unless the person has a reasonable excuse; and give the parole board the relevant information a board member requires the person to give, unless the person has a reasonable excuse; and produce a document containing relevant information that the person is required to produce by the attendance notice, unless the person has a reasonable excuse. Maximum penalty—10 penalty units.
