Allows the District of Columbia Clemency Board to waive the five-year waiting period for pardon applications.

The Clemency Board Waiver Authority Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 modifies the Clemency Board Establishment Act of 2018. It allows the Board to waive the five-year waiting period for pardon applications if the Office of the Pardon Attorney notifies the Board that it will discuss the waiver request. The Board can decline to grant a waiver even with such notification and cannot grant a waiver if the applicant is on probation, parole, or supervised release. The Board must provide written notice of its decision to the applicant.
