An administrative error that could potentially invalidate parole board decisions has prompted "urgent" legislation changes by the Queensland government.
However, Corrective Services Minister Nikki Boyd said the bungle would not result in the release of anyone denied parole.
The government stepped in after concerns were raised that some people on the parole board had not been properly appointed.
It soon identified some errors had been made in approving acting professional positions on the board.
As a result, amendments to the state's parole board laws were pushed through parliament late on Wednesday.
Ms Boyd said there were no concerns regarding the selection process, suitability, competency or appropriateness of anyone acting in board positions.
However, she said there was a "technical error" regarding the process for establishing and filling acting positions.
"I have been advised that the board did not follow appropriate processes in making some appointments," she told parliament.
"As I have said publicly, this has not and will not result in the automatic release of anyone who has been denied parole.
"However, out of an abundance of caution, the government has brought forward these urgent amendments to rectify the situation."
Resources Minister Scott Stewart told parliament on Wednesday that errors in the appointment of temporary professional parole board members were confirmed last week.
"These errors in appointment may have the effect of invalidating role decisions that the acting professional board members took part in, he said.
"This government is acting swiftly with amendments to ensure these directions remain enforceable and risks can continue to be effectively managed.
"The amendments will not change the outcome of any impacted decisions."
Ms Boyd told parliament that she would meet with the parole board president to ensure they were aware of the government and community's expectations.
