	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 3061, Committee on Elections and Redistricting   Voter
registration index.
   Existing law requires county elections officials to furnish either
one electronic or 2 printed copies of the index of registration for
the primary and general elections or for any special election at
which a partisan office is to be filled to a requesting state or
county party central committee.
   This bill would also require county elections officials to furnish
the index of registration for any statewide special election to a
requesting state or county party central committee, thus imposing a
state-mandated local program by creating a new duty.
  The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 2185 of the Elections Code is amended to read:

   2185.  Upon written demand of the chair or vice chair of a party
state central committee or of the chair of a party county central
committee, the county elections official shall furnish to each
committee, without charge therefor, the index of registration for the
primary and general elections, for any special election at which a
partisan office is to be filled, or for any statewide special
election. The index of registration shall be furnished to the
committee demanding the index not less than 25 days prior to the day
of the primary, general, or special election for which they are
provided. Upon written demand, the county elections official shall
also furnish to the committee the index of registration of voters who
registered after the 54th day before the election, which shall be
compiled and prepared by Assembly districts. The county elections
official shall furnish either two printed copies or, if available,
one copy in an electronic form of the indexes specified in this
section.
  SEC. 2.  If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local
agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant
to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of
the Government Code.
