	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1326, Perata.  Recall elections.
   Existing law requires that a recall petition that is circulated in
more than one county bear the name of the county in which it is
circulated.
   This bill would require that the petition instead bear the name of
the county for which it is circulated.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 11047 of the Elections Code is amended to read:

   11047.  When a petition is circulated in more than one county for
the recall of an officer, each section of the petition shall bear the
name of the county for which it is circulated, and only registered
voters of that county may sign that section.
  SEC. 2.  Section 11102 of the Elections Code is amended to read:
   11102.  Each section of a recall petition shall be filed with the
elections official of the county for which it was circulated.
