INTRODUCED BY   Senator Galgiani

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 6 of Chapter 497 of the Statutes of 2012,
relating to elections.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 756, as introduced, Galgiani. Voter registration.
   Existing law establishes conditional voter registration, using an
affidavit of registration, whereby a person would be permitted to
register to vote after the 15th day prior to an election or an
election day, and cast a provisional ballot to be counted if the
conditional voter registration is deemed effective. Under existing
law, conditional voter registration becomes operative on January 1 of
the year following the year in which the Secretary of State
certifies that the state has a statewide voter registration database
that complies with the requirements of the federal Help America Vote
Act of 2002.
   This bill would specify that conditional voter registration, as
described above, would become operative on January 1, 2014.
   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 6 of Chapter 497 of the Statutes of 2012 is
amended to read:
  SEC. 6.  Sections 1 to 3, inclusive, of this  bill
  act  shall become operative on January  1
of the year following the year in which the Secretary of State
certifies that the state has a statewide voter registration database
that complies with the requirements of the federal Help America Vote
Act of 2002 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 15301 et seq.)   1, 2014
