Summary

Existing law requires a local government body, when submitting for voter approval a bond measure, the security for which constitutes a lien on the property for ad valorem taxes, to provide the voters a statement that includes estimates of tax rates and debt service in connection with the measure. This statement is required to be included in any voter information guide for the bond measure, as specified. Existing law requires that the ballots used when voting on a measure proposed by a local governing body, or submitted to the voters as an initiative or referendum measure, have printed on them specified information, including a statement describing the measure. If the proposed measure imposes a tax or raises the rate of a tax, existing law requires that the statement of the measure include the amount of money to be raised annually and the rate and duration of the tax to be levied. This bill would exempt until July 1, 2020, a measure authorizing the issuance of bonds from the above provision requiring the statement of the measure to include the amount of money to be raised annually and the rate and duration of the tax to be levied. This bill would appropriate $5,000 from the General Fund to the Secretary of State for the purpose of preparing an action plan for the 2018–19 fiscal year for the Secretary of State's cybersecurity office. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
