Annual reports

California Constitution article V, section 8, subdivision (a) grants the Governor the power to pardon, but also requires "The Governor shall report to the Legislature each reprieve, pardon, and commutation granted, stating the pertinent facts and the reasons for granting it. " As such, there is annual report sent from the Governor to the Legislature, usually containing the text of each pardon. However, the reports under Governor Brown also contain the applications for pardon, including supporting documentation such as declarations or Certificates of Rehabilitation or PC1203.4 orders.
