This measure would repeal the Governor’s authority to grant clemency and instead transfer clemency authority to the California Clemency Board, which would consist of county clemency boards. Each county would have at least one board of five citizens randomly selected from the pool of registered voters. The board would be responsible for reviewing and taking action on clemency requests from prisoners whose committing offense occurred in that county. The local clemency boards would have the authority to release prisoners, commute sentences, or concur with the inmate’s current sentence. A statewide elected officer whose responsibilities would include accepting clemency petitions from the public, processing clemency petitions for review, and undefined financial responsibilities would administer the local clemency boards.
