	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 742, Saldana. Elections: felony conviction statements.
   Under existing law, the county elections official is required to
cancel the voter registration of a person who is presently imprisoned
or on parole for conviction of a felony. The clerk of the superior
court of each county, on the basis of the records of the court, is
required to furnish to the chief elections official of the county a
statement showing the names, addresses, and dates of birth of all
persons who have been convicted of a felony since the clerk's last
report. The elections official is then required to cancel the
affidavits of registration of those persons who are currently
imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony.
   This bill would specify that the court clerk's statement must
include only those convicted felons who have been sentenced to
prison.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2212 of the Elections Code is amended to read:
   2212.  The clerk of the superior court of each county, on the
basis of the records of the court, shall furnish to the chief
elections official of the county, not less frequently than the first
day of April and the first day of September of each year, a statement
showing the name, address, and date of birth of each person who has
been convicted of a felony and sentenced to state prison since the
clerk's last report. The elections official shall, during the first
week of April and the first week of September in each year, cancel
the affidavit of registration of each person who is currently
imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony. The clerk
shall certify the statement under the seal of the court.
