Arizona Board of Executive Clemency—Sunset Review

Board took steps to meet some statutory responsibilities we reviewed, including sending victim notifications within statutory time frames, but did not comply with some State conflict-of-interest requirements, increasing the risk that Board members and employees had not disclosed substantial interests that might influence their official conduct; did not always timely schedule revocation hearings, increasing its risk of violating inmates’ right to due process; and did not adopt a structured decision-making process, despite prior recommendations to do so.
