House Bill 1410

INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLEMENCY IN PENNSYLVANIA


House Bill 1410 Bill Information

Description: HB 1410 is a proposed amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution that would change the requirements for the Board of Pardons to recommend pardons or commutations of sentences. Under current law, the Board of Pardons must unanimously recommend pardons or commutations for sentences of death or life imprisonment; instead, this bill would change that requirement to three-fifths of the Board. The bill also outlines the necessary procedures for passing a constitutional amendment in Pennsylvania, including public advertising and submission to voters.
