Prior to en banc consideration the executive officer shall assign a deputy commissioner or the chief investigator or his or her designee to complete a background investigation and submit a written report.
In all cases referred to the board for investigation by the Governor, the full board shall consider the recommendation to be made to the Governor regarding pardon and/or commutation. The recommendation of a majority of the full board shall be the board's recommendation to the Governor. If the case was referred by a hearing panel and the board does not recommend pardon, the board shall not refer the case to the Governor but shall provide the prisoner with its reasons for not recommending pardon.
