LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1400, as introduced, Stern. Pupils: registering to vote.

Existing law requires the last 2 full weeks in April and in September to be known as “high school voter weeks,” during which time deputy registrars of voters are allowed to register to vote pupils and school personnel on high school campuses in areas designated by the school administration.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
