This bill exempts victims of human trafficking or domestic abuse from a requirement to have their clemency applications published in newspapers. To qualify for this exemption, victims must submit an affidavit stating they are a trafficking or domestic abuse victim whose safety is at risk if their information is published, along with supporting affidavits from two professionals (such as law enforcement, prosecutors, mental health professionals, or social workers) confirming the victim status and safety concerns.
The engrossed version added a requirement that applicants must affidavit that their safety risks publication, and professionals must affirm applicants hold good faith safety beliefs.
The engrossed version's legislative formatting and markup language were removed and replaced with standard enrolled bill certification pages and signature blocks for legislative officials and the Governor.
