Bill > SCR89

This Concurrent Resolution is a formal request from the legislature to the Governor, urging them to use their power of executive clemency to reduce or cancel the five-year prison sentence of John Ray Wilson. Mr. Wilson was convicted of marijuana manufacturing after he grew marijuana to manage his multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease affecting the nervous system. Executive clemency is a broad term for the governor's power to grant pardons, reprieves, or commutations, and in this case, the resolution specifically asks for a commutation, which means reducing the length of his sentence.
