This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law requires that a ballot contain all supplies necessary for the return of the ballot and that the identification envelope for a vote by mail ballot contain specified information. This bill would also require a notice that the identification envelope of a vote by mail ballot must be actually received by elections officials before the polls close on election day in order to be counted, except as specified. Because the bill would require local elections officials to provide additional service, it 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 these statutory provisions.
