CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20212022 REGULAR SESSION Senate Bill No. 504Introduced by Senator BeckerFebruary 17, 2021 An act to amend Section 2170 of, and to repeal and add Section 2212 of, the Elections Code, relating to elections. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 504, as introduced, Becker. Elections: voter registration.(1) Existing law authorizes an individual who is eligible to register to vote to complete and deliver to a county elections official a conditional voter registration application that is deemed effective after the elections official determines the individuals eligibility to vote and validates the information on the application. Existing law authorizes a voter who has conditionally registered to cast a provisional or nonprovisional ballot on the day of the election, as specified. Existing law authorizes military and overseas voters, as defined, to register for, and to vote a vote by mail ballot in, any election within the state or within the precinct in which the voter last resided within the territorial limits of the United States, as specified. Existing law requires a county elections official to permit a military or overseas voter to vote using a certified remote accessible vote by mail system, except as specified.This bill would require a county elections official to make conditional voter registration available to military and overseas voters via a certified remote accessible vote by mail system.(2) Existing law requires the clerk of the superior court of each county to periodically furnish the Secretary of State and county elections official with certain information regarding persons who have been committed to state prison for a felony conviction. Existing law requires the Secretary of State or the county elections official to cancel the affidavit of voter registration of persons who are currently imprisoned for the conviction of a felony.This bill would repeal those provisions and instead require the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, on a weekly basis, to provide the Secretary of State with specified identifying information for persons imprisoned for the conviction of a felony and persons on parole or otherwise released from that imprisonment. The bill would require the Secretary of State to provide county elections officials with that information. The bill would require county elections officials to cancel the affidavits of voter registration of persons who are imprisoned and to notify persons who have been released from imprisonment that their voting rights are restored, that they may register to vote, and of the procedures for registering to vote. The bill would immunize counties and county elections officials from liability based on actions taken in accordance with this bill based on information received from the Secretary of State or the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.(3) By increasing the duties of local officials on matters relating to voter registration, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.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 the statutory provisions noted above.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
