Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Faster path to restore civil rights

The Board can restore civil rights without holding a meeting. It can use this faster track if the county district attorney does not object and no victim asked in writing for notice. The court no longer needs to sign off. This can speed the return of rights like voting and some licenses.

Access to parole decision records on request

The Parole Board must keep detailed reasons and counts for all parole decisions and update them at least every three months. Anyone can ask for records about a named prisoner after the prisoner and any victims are told of the decision. The Board must remove personal identifying information before sharing. The law removes the old rule to post this information on the Board’s website.

Pardons meeting notices and judge testimony

The Secretary no longer must notify the district judge about pardons meetings. The Secretary still must notify the county district attorney, and for fines or forfeitures, the chair of the county board. Notice is generally at least 30 days before the meeting, unless a Board policy allows less time or there is good cause. A district judge may give factual, non-character testimony if the Board sends a subpoena or formal request. No fee is allowed to apply for a pardon, commutation, remission of fines, or civil rights restoration.
