Requires registration of certain persons requesting pardon, commutation, or reprieve of sentence.
S 3698 requires individuals seeking pardons, commutations, or reprieves on behalf of others to register with the Governor's Office before contacting state officials about such requests. Registrants must disclose their personal details, relationship to the person they're helping, any payment received (including the payer's information), and campaign contributions made to the Governor. The Governor's Office will publish a quarterly list of all registrants with their disclosed information for public access. This applies to non-attorney agents acting on behalf of others but excludes public defenders and their staff working within official duties.
