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 require the Governor, at least 30 days prior to granting a pardon or commutation, to provide written notice of the pardon or commutation to the agency that prosecuted the case in which the person was convicted, and to each victim of the crime or crimes for which that person was convicted. The measure would provide that any pardon or commutation issued in violation of these provisions is void.
