The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to grant pardons or commutations after sentence has been entered, but prohibits the Governor from granting a pardon or commutation to a person twice convicted of a felony except on recommendation of the Supreme Court, 4 judges concurring. This measure would further prohibit the Governor from granting a pardon or commutation during the 30-day period immediately preceding the end of his or her term of office. The measure would provide that any pardon or commutation issued in violation of these provisions is void.
