赦免法

This provision defines “赦免” as including general amnesty, special amnesty, commutation, and restoration of rights.

This provision states two effects of amnesty: any criminal sentence already declared becomes void, and any case not yet sentenced loses the right to prosecute.

A person pardoned after conviction is exempt from execution of the punishment.

經減刑的受罪刑宣告之人，其原宣告的刑罰會減輕。

A person whose civil rights were stripped and later restored regains those civil rights.

因罪刑宣告而喪失的公職，若在大赦或依第三條後段特赦後有向將來回復的可能，當事人可以向主管機關申請回復。

總統可以命令行政院轉請主管機關研議大赦、特赦、減刑及復權；全國性的減刑也可以依大赦程序辦理。

If a person is granted a presidential pardon, sentence reduction, or restoration of rights, the competent ministry issues a certificate to that person.

This law takes effect from the date it is promulgated.
