to provide information to the person on the procedures for
registering to vote and a copy of a voter registration application.
   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.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to inform each person who completes all orders of
imprisonment that the person may be entitled to register to vote and
to provide information to the person on the procedures for
registering to vote and a copy of a voter registration application.
