summary
State-level clemency work describes concrete changes: the board removed $63 fee and simplified application text, adds a step-by-step tutorial, and plans an online app rollout Dec/Jan; applications jump from ~600 yearly historically to 2,100 in 2020. The board creates expedited lanes with DA sign‑off and urges governor action to clear a backlog; cost, navigation barriers, and long governor delays remain the main practical obstacles.
