*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: AB 350 would require a political subdivision that
changes to, or establishes, district-based elections to hold
public hearings before and after drawing a preliminary map or
maps of the proposed district boundaries, as specified.
Fiscal
Impact: Costs for districts to hold the required public hearings
would be state reimbursable, and statewide costs would depend on
the number of governments changing to district-based elections.
Costs would be minimized to the extent the public hearings are
consolidated with regularly-scheduled meetings of the governing

body. Overall, annual state costs are unknown, but likely
minor.
Author
Amendments: Make clarifying changes and allow a safe harbor for
political subdivisions who are acting in good faith.
