SB 619 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to executive clemency.

SB 619 requires individuals seeking executive clemency (such as pardons or commutations) to submit a written application detailing their request. The bill mandates that the Governor wait at least 30 days before granting clemency and sets a 180-day deadline for a decision, after which the application lapses and must be resubmitted. It also requires the district attorney of the conviction county to notify victims and provide case documents (like police reports and court records) to the Governor, while the Governor must file all application materials with the Secretary of State as public records within 10 days of granting clemency. This bill directly affects people seeking clemency, victims of crimes, and state agencies involved in the process.
