From the funds provided in Specific Appropriations 1330, 1331, 1332, &
1333, $2,504,310 from recurring General Revenue and 29 FTE are provided
to address workload demands in Clemency, specifically, workload demands
associated with the restoration of civil rights (RCR). Prior to the
release of funds by the Governor's Office of Planning and Budgeting, the
Parole Commission shall provide to the Chairmen of the Senate
Appropriations Committee and the House Fiscal Responsibility Council by
October 1, 2002, the following:
1. A valid determination of the exact number of pending RCR cases
existing on July 1, 2002 and identify the methodology used to determine
the total pending number of RCR cases. Data reported should include
total cases received for each of the past five years, total cases
processed each year, and total cases not processed.
2. An implementation schedule to place the Clemency application form,
instructions and frequently asked questions and answers on the Internet.
3. An action plan, coordinated with the Department of Corrections, to
provide the Clemency application form to all prison releasees upon their
date of discharge from the correctional institution or from community
supervision.
4. An action plan to review and reengineer the Clemency application form
to integrate the application process with available technology to reduce
processing times and the amount of information requested on the form.
For example, the current form requires the applicant to list criminal
history information when such information is readily available in
computerized databases maintained by the Department of Corrections and
the Department of Law Enforcement.
5. Identification of all existing resources, workload, job descriptions,
and internal business procedures for Clemency activities. This review
shall isolate the percentage of resources allocated to the RCR activity.
A detailed step by step analysis and accounting, equivalent to a time
and motion study, of the current 2.04 hours needed to process RCR
applications shall be documented shall be completed.
From the funds provided in Specific Appropriations 1331 or 1332, the
Commission may utilize up to $150,000 to contract for assistance with
the completion of items 1 through 5 above.
