AB 301

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law requires the clerk of the superior court of each county to furnish a statement to the chief elections official of the county that includes the names, addresses, and dates of birth of all persons who have been convicted of a felony since the clerk's last statement. The elections official is required to cancel the affidavits of registration of those persons who are currently imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony. This bill, in addition, would require the clerk of the superior court to include in these statements to the chief elections official the name, address, and date of birth of each person who has, since the clerk's last statement, declared in response to a jury summons from the superior court that he or she is not qualified to serve as a juror because he or she is not a citizen of the United States, and would require the elections official to cancel the affidavit of registration of each person so listed. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
