The amendment would require the governor to provide notice to the attorney general and make reasonable efforts to notify a designated family member of a victim before granting a commutation (a reduced sentence such as life imprisonment) or reprieve (temporary stay of execution) of a death sentence. The attorney general would provide a mailing address, email address, and phone number to the Governor for the purposes of contacting the victim's family. Failing to provide notice would void the reprieve or commutation of the death sentence and the attorney general and Alabama Supreme Court could seek a new execution order.
