House Bill No. by Representative Marcelle amends the voting requirements for the Board of Pardons in Louisiana. The bill specifies that a quorum for the board will consist of four out of five members, and all actions will require a favorable vote from at least four members. However, if only four members are present, the bill allows for actions to be approved with a favorable vote from at least three members instead.

This change aims to provide flexibility in decision-making when the board is not fully staffed, ensuring that the Board of Pardons can still function effectively while maintaining a level of accountability in its voting process. The amendment to R.S. 15:572.1(E) reflects these new voting requirements, enhancing the operational efficiency of the board.
