Illinois HB1265 amends the procedures for executive clemency to ensure victims are notified of clemency recommendations.
Illinois HB1265 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to enhance the process for executive clemency. It mandates that victims who have provided statements to the Prisoner Review Board receive written notice at least 30 days before a clemency recommendation is sent to the Governor. If a victim waives this notice, they will still receive it if a clemency recommendation is made. The Board must also contact the sentencing county's State's Attorney's Office to obtain the victim's last known address if they are not registered with the Board.
