HB 5

Not terribly surprising to see this one.

HB 5 would amend the Kentucky Constitution to limit the Governor's pardon powers. A Governor could not pardon himself and could not issue a pardon unless the recipient has been at least charged with an offense. The pardonee would also be required to make a written application for the pardon.

Sponsored by Rep. Owens and Wilkey.
