(1) Subject to subsection (2), the Adult Parole Board may only approve a
change of name application if the Board is satisfied that the change of name
is in all the circumstances necessary or reasonable.

(2) The Adult Parole Board must not approve a change of name application if
the Board is satisfied that the change of name would, if registered, be
reasonably likely-

   (a)  to be regarded as offensive by a victim of crime or an appreciable
        sector of the community; or

   (b)  to be used to evade or hinder supervision of the offender during the
        period of the extended supervision order or interim extended
        supervision order.
