INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Saldana

                        FEBRUARY 26, 2009

   An act to amend Section 10405.7 of the Elections Code, relating to
elections.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 742, as introduced, Saldana. Elections: community college
districts.

consolidate its election of governing board members with other
elections upon approval by the board of supervisors and specifies a
procedure for effecting the consolidated election.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

   (d) (1) The board of supervisors, within 60 days from the date of
submission, shall approve the resolution unless it finds that the

request, the board or boards of supervisors may each obtain from the
elections official a report on the cost-effectiveness of the proposed
action.
   (2) Public notices of the proceedings in which the resolution is
to be considered for adoption shall be made pursuant to Section 25151
of the Government Code.
   (e) Within 30 days after the approval of the resolution by the
board of supervisors, the elections official shall notify all
registered voters of the districts affected by the consolidation of
the approval of the resolution by the board of supervisors. The
notice shall be delivered by mail and at the expense of the community
college district.
   (f) An election day established pursuant to subdivision (b) of
Section 1302 shall be prescribed to occur not less than one month,
nor more than 12 months, subsequent to the election day prescribed in
Section 5000  of the Education Code  . As used in this
subdivision, "12 months" means the period from the election day
prescribed in Section 5000 of the Education Code to the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in the 12th month subsequent to that day,
inclusive.
   (g) If, pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1302, a district
governing board member election is held on the same day as a
statewide general election, those district governing board members
whose four-year terms of office would have, prior to the adoption of
the resolution, expired prior to that election shall, instead,
