Texas Senate Bill Would Shrink Parole Board to Seven
A Senate bill written by Sen John Whitmire would cut the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles from 18 to seven members and require the board to meet as a group in capital case decisions. The measure aims to end secret votes by allowing group deliberation and public record of individual votes, though meetings would not be open to the public. Board Chairman Gerald Garrett called the proposal a major change, while Sen Rodney Ellis urged public meetings for life and death rulings.
