	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 938, as amended, Weber. Voting: felons.
   Under existing law, the county elections official is required to
cancel the voter registration of a person who is presently imprisoned
or on parole for conviction of a felony. The clerk of the superior
court of each county, on the basis of the records of the court, is
required to furnish to the chief elections official of the county a
statement showing the names, addresses, and dates of birth of all
persons who have been convicted of a felony since the clerk's last
report. The elections official is then required to cancel the
affidavits of registration of those persons who are currently
imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony.
   This bill  would exclude any person who was placed on
probation, as   specified, from the court clerk's reports.
The bill  would require that the statement also include the last
four digits of the person's social security number, if available.
The bill also would specify that the county elections official is
required to cancel the affidavit of registration of a person
imprisoned or on  state  parole for a felony
conviction whose name, address, date of birth, and the last four
digits of his or her social security number, if available, are the
same as reported on the court clerk's statement.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
