Summary
Existing law prescribes various eligibility and procedural requirements for a person to become a candidate for elective office. A person may not be a candidate for, or elected to, any state or local elective office if the person has been convicted of a felony involving bribery, embezzlement of public money, extortion or theft of public money, perjury, or conspiracy to commit any of those crimes.
This bill would additionally prohibit a person from being a candidate for, or elected to, any state or local elective office if the person has ever been required to register as a sex offender.
