Board of Pardons Part-Time Member Pay Elimination
Summary
The Connecticut General Assembly is considering SB 398 to eliminate the statutory payment rate for part-time members of the Board of Pardons and Paroles. The bill passed the Judiciary Committee with a joint favorable recommendation on March 23, 2026, and is currently awaiting fiscal analysis. If enacted, the change would affect how compensation for part-time board members is determined.
What changed
Raised S.B. No. 398 proposes to amend Connecticut law governing the Board of Pardons and Paroles by removing the statutorily prescribed amount for payment to part-time board members. The bill was introduced by the Judiciary Committee and has completed the public hearing stage (held March 16, 2026) and received a joint favorable vote on March 23, 2026. The bill is now in the legislative process, referred to the Office of Legislative Research and Office of Fiscal Analysis for review.
