Bill Summary

This bill removes the requirement for promulgation by the Governor of the national census. Under current law, the governor is authorized to file in the office of the Secretary of State a copy of the bulletin issued by the director of the national census. The filing is an official promulgation of the census. This bill removes that requirement. The director of the national census no longer issues a bulletin regarding the census. The information is now available online directly from the Census Bureau and has already been published online by the Secretary of State. Thus, the Governor has already made this information available and the promulgation requirement is no longer necessary. This bill authorizes the Governor to issue a statement declaring the date on which the census was received.

AI Summary

This bill removes the requirement for the Governor to promulgate the national census. Under current law, the Governor is required to file a copy of the census bulletin issued by the Census Bureau with the Secretary of State, which serves as the official promulgation of the census. This bill eliminates that requirement, as the census information is now readily available online directly from the Census Bureau and has already been published online by the Secretary of State. Instead, the bill authorizes the Governor to issue a statement declaring the date on which the Governor received the federal decennial census. The bill also updates various references to the promulgation of the census throughout state law to refer to the Governor's receipt of the census rather than its promulgation.
