INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Buchanan

                        FEBRUARY 8, 2011

   An act to amend Section 275.2 of the Government Code, relating to
public officers.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 287, as introduced, Buchanan. Public officers: minors.
   Existing law provides that a public officer who is a minor shall
have the rights and liabilities of an adult, both civil and criminal,
with regard to that public officer's official duties, and a
candidate for nomination or election to public office who is a minor
shall have the rights and liabilities of an adult, both civil and
criminal, with regard to that candidate's activities as a candidate.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
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 275.2 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   275.2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a public
officer who is a minor shall have the rights and liabilities of an
adult, both civil and criminal, with regard to his  or her 
official duties, and a candidate for nomination or election to public
office who is a minor shall have the rights and liabilities of an
adult, both civil and criminal, with regard to his  or her 
activities as a candidate.
