Staff: consider updating Title 16 and other statutes to include juvenile adjudication

Jun 1, 2026

Staff advised the proponent to review statutory procedures in Title 16 (Article 17) that govern commutation and pardon processes and to consider updating other provisions that reference pardoning convictions so juvenile adjudications are covered.

Staff told the proponent that current statutory law (Title 16, Article 17) prescribes the procedure for applying for commutation or pardon and asked whether juvenile adjudications should be added to that section or whether a new section should be created. A staff member offered to provide the citation (Title 16, Article 17, Section 102) for the proponent to review.
