IL HB1265

Requires the Prisoner Review Board to contact the sentencing county's State's Attorney's Office to obtain a victim's last known address if the victim is not registered with the Board, and send notice of clemency petitions to that address

Allows victims to provide oral testimony at executive clemency hearings via electronic means rather than requiring in-person appearance

Permits victims who have submitted statements to the Board to waive notice of future clemency petitions, but the waiver must be in writing

Requires that a victim's statement be included as part of all future clemency petitions filed by the same petitioner

Mandates that victims who waived notice must still receive written notification at least 30 days before the Board sends a clemency recommendation to the Governor
