HB1005 allows a smaller panel of the Board of Pardons and Paroles to recommend clemency (pardons, commutations, or sentence reductions) instead of requiring the full board to do so. Currently, the entire board must vote on clemency requests, but this bill streamlines the process by letting a designated hearing panel make these recommendations on their own.
