Added November 6, 1956:

The Legislature may grant aid and compensation to any person who has heretofore paid a fine or served a sentence in prison, or who may hereafter pay a fine or serve a sentence in prison, under the laws of this State for an offense for which he or she is not guilty, under such regulations and limitations as the Legislature may deem expedient.

Editor Comments

In 1937, a Section 51-c (which concerned assistance to the blind) was added to Article III.

In 1945, that section was repealed and its substance transferred to Article III, Section 51-a.
