SC H3280

Amends Section 24-21-950 regarding pardon eligibility guidelines used by the Board of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services

Makes grammatical corrections throughout the statute, changing "anytime" to "any time"

Removes the requirement that inmates be considered for pardons specifically "before a parole eligibility date," replacing it with consideration "at any time" when extraordinary circumstances exist

Maintains existing eligibility timelines: probationers eligible after discharge, parolees eligible after five years of supervision or upon completing their maximum parole period, and persons discharged without supervision eligible immediately after discharge

Allows crime victims or family members of convicted persons to petition for pardons after the person has completed supervision or been discharged
