	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1148, Beth Gaines. Republican county central committees: Placer
County.
   Existing law requires that candidates for the Republican county
central committee appear on the local ballot and specifies the manner
of their election. In a county containing less than 5 Assembly
districts, a committee must be elected by supervisor districts, in
accordance with a specified formula. In a county containing more than
4 and less than 20 Assembly districts, a committee must be elected
from Assembly districts and consist of 6 members from each district.
   This bill would impose a state-mandated local program by requiring
that, notwithstanding the above, the committee in Placer County be
elected by supervisor districts, and that the committee be composed
of 7 members elected from each of the supervisor districts.
   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 7400.2 is added to the Elections Code, to read:

   7400.2.  Notwithstanding Sections 7400 and 7401, in the County of
Placer, the county central committee shall be elected by supervisor
districts and shall be composed of seven members elected from each of
the supervisor districts.
  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.
