Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 6901.5 of the Elections Code, relating to elections.

AI Summary

This bill, amending Section 6901.5 of the Elections Code, requires a representative of each qualified political party to certify under penalty of perjury that their nominees for President and Vice President are eligible to hold the office of President according to the Twenty-Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which limits a person to two terms as President. If this certification is not provided, the party's nominees' names will not appear on the general election ballot. This change is considered a state-mandated local program because it expands the crime of perjury, but no reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts as the costs are associated with creating a new crime or changing the definition of one.
