   An act to add  Section 12289 to the Elections Code,

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 267, as amended, Pavley.  Polling places: higher
education campuses.   Proposition 39: implementation.
 
   The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative approved by
the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election as
Proposition 39, made changes to corporate income taxes and, except as
specified, provides for the transfer of $550,000,000 annually from
the General Fund to the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund for 5 fiscal
years beginning with the 2013-14 fiscal year. Moneys in the Clean
Energy Job Creation Fund are available, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, for purposes of funding eligible projects that create
jobs in California improving energy efficiency and expanding clean
energy generation. Existing law provides for the allocation of these
funds for eligible projects at public school facilities, university
and college facilities, and other public buildings and facilities, as
well as job training and workforce development, and public-private
partnerships, as specified.  
   This bill would require the State Energy Resources Conservation
and Development Commission to develop and administer a financial
assistance program to assist the California Community Colleges, the
California State University, and the University of California with
energy efficiency and clean energy onsite generation projects. The
bill would require the commission to develop and adopt specific
guidelines for the program. The bill would appropriate for the
2013-14 fiscal year an unspecified sum from the Clean Energy Job
Creation Fund to the commission for the above purpose, thereby making
an appropriation.  
   (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 statewide general elections held in November
of each even-numbered year, 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   yes
 . Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: 
yes   no  .
