	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 107, as amended, Committee on Budget.  Budget Act of
2011.   Special election.  
   Existing law provides that the Secretary of State is the chief
elections officer of the state and requires the Secretary of State to
perform specified duties, including preparing and mailing ballot
pamphlets, in connection with any statewide election. Existing law
requires that every measure submitted to the voters comply with a
specified schedule leading up to the day of the election.  
   This bill would call a statewide special election to be held on
June 7, 2011, and would require the Secretary of State to place
before the voters at that election a legislative constitutional
amendment, as specified, relating to local government finance. In
addition, the bill would waive certain statutory deadlines in
relation to the placement of that measure before the voters at the
June 7, 2011, statewide special election. The bill would also provide
that funds necessary to pay the claims of local agencies arising
from their costs incurred to conduct the June 7, 2011, statewide
special election shall be included in the Budget Act of 2011 or in
another statute.  
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an act calling an election.  
   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2011. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
