Clarifies voting procedures for the Pardon and Parole Board in Oklahoma.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify the voting procedures of the Pardon and Parole Board in Oklahoma. It updates the language to specify that the Board can grant parole for nonviolent offenses but not for those sentenced to death or life imprisonment without parole. The Governor retains the power to grant paroles, subject to Board recommendations. The Board must consist of five members, with three appointed by the Governor, one by the Chief Justice, and one by the Presiding Judge of the Criminal Court of Appeals.
