CO HB1164

Prohibits individuals from submitting clemency applications if a resentencing hearing has been requested or scheduled; if an application was submitted before a resentencing hearing was scheduled, the governor cannot consider or act on it until after the hearing concludes.

Requires applicants to exhaust all state appeal and administrative processes before applying for or being considered for clemency.

Directs the executive director of the department of corrections to promulgate rules determining whether individuals are incapable of exhausting all state and administrative processes due to indigence or other matters.

Amends the clemency notification requirement to require the governor provide copies of clemency grants to the Colorado bureau of investigation for record notation.

Takes effect 90 days after final adjournment of the general assembly, unless subject to a referendum petition, in which case it requires approval by voters at the November 2022 general election.
