	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Gaines

                        FEBRUARY 5, 2015

   An act to amend Section 12288 of the Elections Code, relating to
elections.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 169, as introduced, Gaines. Elections: polling places.
   Existing law requires an elections official to divide a
jurisdiction into precincts and publish, not less than 1 week before
the election, the list of the polling places designated for each
election precinct. Existing law prohibits a place where the primary
purpose of the establishment is the sale and dispensation of
alcoholic beverages from being used as a polling place.
   This bill will make technical, nonsubstantive changes to the
latter provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 12288 of the Elections Code is amended to read:

   12288.  A place where the primary purpose of the establishment is
the sale and dispensation of alcoholic beverages  may
  shall  not be used as a polling place. A polling
place  may   shall  not be connected by a
door, window, or other opening with  any   a
 place where  any   an  alcoholic
beverage is sold or dispensed while the polls are open.
