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 focus 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 those affected by violent crimes in decisions that may impact the offenders' sentences.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but emphasizes the insertion of provisions that prioritize victim notification and participation in the commutation process. By doing so, the bill aims to create a more inclusive and transparent system that acknowledges the rights and voices of victims and their families in matters of justice related to violent offenders.
