Title
Pardons and Paroles Board, Scottsboro Boys Act, posthumous pardons for certain convictions prior to 1932
Description

Under existing law, there is no process for the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to pardon felons determined to be innocent after their death.

This bill would create "The Scottsboro Boys Act" to establish procedures to consider the posthumous pardon of certain felons convicted based upon alleged acts committed at least 80 years prior to the date of the petition and which meet other criteria.
