The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6514, seeks to amend title 54 of the general statutes to revise the policy regarding the commutation of sentences for violent offenders. The primary objective of this amendment is to ensure that victims and their families are notified about the commutation process and are given the opportunity to participate in it. This change aims to enhance the involvement of victims and their families in decisions that directly affect them, thereby promoting a more victim-centered approach in the justice system.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new provisions that emphasize the importance of victim notification and participation in the commutation process for violent offenders. By implementing these changes, the bill aims to create a more transparent and inclusive process that acknowledges the rights and needs of victims and their families in the context of sentencing commutations.
