Montgomery, Ala. ? Rosa Parks and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. may finally get legal pardons.

In Montgomery, the Alabama Legislature gave final approval to a bill, named the Rosa Parks Act, that sets up a process to pardon the civil rights icons and hundreds of others who broke Jim Crow laws, said sponsor Rep. Thad McClammy, referring to the name often used to refer to the segregation-era laws.

Parks was arrested 50 years ago for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery city bus, an event that sparked the historic Montgomery bus boycott.

The House voted 91-0 to approve Senate changes and pass the bill late Monday, just before the legislative session ended. The legislation now goes to Gov. Bob Riley, who has not said whether he plans to sign it.

Some lawmakers have questioned whether Parks and other civil rights figures should be pardoned when the laws they violated have been ruled unconstitutional. “Martin Luther King and the others were arrested with pride,” said Rep. John Rogers.
