Get-out-of-jail measure advances
House Speaker Joanna McClinton’s legislation to change the pardon process passed the Judiciary Committee, with all Democrats – including Rep. Joe Hohenstein – in favor and all Republicans against.
The measure would change the unanimous vote requirement of the Pardon Board to a three-out-of-five votes requirement.
To take effect, the language of the bill must pass both chambers of the General Assembly in two consecutive sessions and be put to the voters as a referendum.
The bill is backed by Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, District Attorney Larry Krasner, the Urban League of Philadelphia, the Allegheny County Public Defender Office and the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. ••
