AB 2753: Elective office: sex offenders.
What AB 2753 does, verified July 2, 2026
This bill aims to amend the existing election laws in California to prohibit individuals with certain convictions from holding elective office. It specifically targets individuals convicted of felonies involving bribery, embezzlement, extortion, theft, perjury, or conspiracy. Additionally, individuals who have ever been required to register as a sex offender are also prohibited from holding elective office. This amendment seeks to increase transparency and accountability in the electoral process by removing individuals with a history of serious crimes from the running for public office.
