# SB 9 Summary This bill makes it harder for people sentenced to life in prison for violent crimes to apply for clemency by eliminating or restricting their ability to request forgiveness from the governor. The changes remove several existing pathways for these offenders to seek clemency and tighten the rules around who can apply and when.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
