BILL NUMBER: SB 267	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Pavley

                        FEBRUARY 13, 2013

   An act to add Section 12289 to the Elections Code, relating to
elections.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 267, as introduced, Pavley. Polling places: higher education
campuses.
   (1) Existing law requires elections officials to establish a
convenient number of election precincts and designate a polling place
for each precinct. Under existing law, the local elections official
may request the use of school buildings as polling places.
   This bill would, for elections conducted by a county or city and
county, require the county or city and county elections official to
establish precincts consisting solely of, and corresponding polling
places within, each campus of a community college, the California
State University, or the University of California, if the campus
meets specified requirements. The bill would require the California
State University and the California Community Colleges, and request
the University of California, to provide access for the use of their
campuses as polling places. By requiring county and city and county
elections officials to perform new duties, and the California
Community Colleges to provide access as polling places, the bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.
   (2) 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.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 12289 is added to the Elections Code, to read:
   12289.  (a) For each election conducted by a county or a city and
county, the county or city and county elections official shall
establish precincts consisting solely of, and corresponding polling
places within, each campus of a community college, the California
State University, and the University of California, if the campus
meets all of the following requirements:
   (1) The campus is within the county or city and county's
jurisdiction.
   (2) At least 1,000 people live on the campus.
   (3) The campus complies with accessibility requirements and
guidelines for polling places established by the Secretary of State.
   (b) The California State University and the California Community
Colleges shall, and the University of California is requested to,
provide access for use of their campuses as polling places. This
section does not apply to a campus of the University of California if
the campus refuses a request for access of the campus as a polling
place.
  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.
