	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Hayashi

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to amend Section 3012 of the Elections Code, relating to
elections.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1514, as introduced, Hayashi. Elections: vote by mail.
   Existing law provides that when the address to which a vote by
mail ballot is to be sent is outside the territorial limits of the
United States, the elections official is required to mail the ballot
to the elector by airmail and, if under any law of the United States
official election ballots are authorized to be mailed without the
payment of postage, the elections official is required to mail the
ballots in that way.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.

   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 3012 of the Elections Code is amended to read:
   3012.  Whenever the elections official is required to mail a vote
by mail voter's ballot to any elector and the address to which the
ballot is to be mailed is a point outside the territorial limits of
the United States, the elections official shall mail the vote by mail
voter's ballot to the elector by airmail and, if under any law of
the United States official election ballots may be mailed without the
payment of postage, the elections official shall so mail 
them   the ballots  .
