 Senate Bill

No. 270

Introduced by Senator Ochoa Bogh
(Coauthors: Senators Choi, Hurtado, Jones, and Niello)

An act to amend Sections 11020, 11021, and 11022 of the Elections Code, relating to elections. 

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 270, as amended, Ochoa Bogh.
 Recall elections: notice of intention.

Existing law governs the recall of certain state and local elective officers. Existing law requires proponents of a recall to serve, file, and publish a copy of the notice of intention to recall the elective officer, as specified. Existing law requires the notice of intention to contain, among other things, the printed name, signature, and residence address, including street and number, city, and ZIP Code, of each proponent of the recall. Existing law requires publication of the notice of intention in a newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction of the officer sought to be recalled. If there is no newspaper of general circulation, the notice of intention must be posted in at least 3 public places within the jurisdiction.

This bill would require the elections official or Secretary of State to redact
 the proponents’ signatures and the street numbers and street names of their residence before making the notice of intention to be redacted or otherwise excluded from the notice of intention before it is made available to the public. If there is no newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction of the officer sought to be recalled, the bill would require the notice of intention to also be posted on at least 3 internet websites.
