PARDON/PAROLE: Provides relative to clemency procedures (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

This bill amends the state's clemency procedures to clarify when a governor may grant pardons or parole. Specifically, it sets a deadline requiring that such decisions be made before the governor leaves office or when their term expires. The change directly affects the executive branch's authority to issue clemency by establishing a clear timeframe tied to the end of a governor's tenure. This provision ensures that clemency actions are completed within the current administration rather than being left unresolved after a term ends.
