Section 62 provides for the same changes as Section 61, for fixed term (determinate) sentenced offenders released pursuant to Chapter 6 of Part 12 of the 2003 Act by inserting new sections 256AZBA, 256AZBB and 256AZBC into Chapter 6 of Part 12 of the 2003 Act, and making consequential changes. The operation of this section is the same as Section 61, adjusted to the different provisions.
	New section 256AZBB, which sets out the top tier offences, does not include murder. This is because murder carries mandatory life sentence, so offenders sentenced for this offence will never be due for release under the 2003 Act. All other aspects of section 256AZBB correspond with provision in new section 32ZAB for life sentenced offenders. New section 256AZBC corresponds with new section 32ZAC for the purposes of the High Court’s decision.
	Subsection (5) of section 256AZBC glosses the public protection test set out in section 256AZBC(3) for recalled fixed-term offenders who make representations on their recall and are subsequently referred to the Board by the Secretary of State under section 255B(4A) of the 2003 Act.
	Section 62(2) clarifies that, where the release decision is that of the High Court rather than the Parole Board, the requirement for the Secretary of State to release as soon as reasonably practicable provided for in section 256AZC applies.
