Bill > HB282

This bill amends Section 15-22-20 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which governs the Board of Pardons and Paroles, primarily by changing the commencement date for new board member terms from July 1st to March 1st, effective October 1, 2026. The bill also makes minor language adjustments, such as changing "which" to "that" and "persons" to "individuals," and clarifies the diversity requirements for board membership to include urban and rural representation. The core function of the board, which consists of three members appointed by the Governor from a list provided by a nominating committee composed of the Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, and President Pro Tempore of the Senate, remains the same, as do the procedures for filling vacancies and the quorum requirements.
