Bill Summary
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for pardoning power and Board of Pardons.
AI Summary
This bill proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that would change the requirements for the Board of Pardons to recommend pardons or commutations of sentences. Under the current law, the Board of Pardons must unanimously recommend pardons or commutations for sentences of death or life imprisonment, but this bill would change that requirement to three-fifths of the Board instead. The bill also outlines the necessary procedures for passing a constitutional amendment in Pennsylvania, including public advertising and submission to voters.
