In the construction of this subtitle, the following [definition] DEFINITIONS shall
conclusively determine the meaning of the terms used:

(1)     A pardon is an act of clemency, evidenced by a written executive order
signed by the Governor under the great seal, absolving the grantee thereof from the guilt
of his criminal acts and exempting him from any pains and penalties imposed upon him
therefor by law. It shall be presumed that the grantee of a pardon had been lawfully and
properly convicted of crime against the State unless the order shall make known that the
grantee has been conclusively shown to have been convicted in error.

(2)     A partial pardon is an act of clemency, a pardon which has been limited
by the terms of the order so as to be of less effect than a full pardon; and which is clearly
shown on the face of the order to be a partial pardon.
