(A) calculating and tracking credits earned by parolees;
(B) reducing the parolee's period of parole based on credits earned by the parolee and notifying a victim under AS 33.30.013;
(3) require that a parolee convicted of a crime involving domestic violence complete all treatment programs required as a condition of parole before discharge based on credits earned under this section.
