Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner has stated that he plans to clear out any backlog of clemency petitions remaining before leaving office. Governor-elect J.B. Pritzker is inaugurated on January 14, 2019. So, if you have a clemency petition before the Governor now, you can expect to hear something in the coming weeks. Good luck!
