AI Summary

This bill, concerning the Pardon and Parole Board in Oklahoma, primarily aims to increase the annual compensation for its members.

The bill also retains provisions regarding attendance at Board meetings, where failure to attend without justifiable excuse can lead to forfeiture of compensation and potentially constitute official misconduct, which could result in removal from office.
