Clemency Review Commission and Board of Pardons procedures expanded and refined, rulemaking authorized, and money appropriated.

Summary

The measure lets the Clemency Review Commission appoint three‑member panels to review pardon and waiver applications publicly and either recommend denial, refer the case, or, for expedited requests, recommend approval. It also shortens waiting periods for certain offenses, allows the governor to waive hearings, and requires the Board of Pardons to meet at least twice a year. These changes aim to speed up clemency processing while preserving transparency and victim rights.
