Recall elections: notice of intention.

The fiscal committee designation changed from 'no' to 'yes,' meaning the bill now requires review by a fiscal committee, which typically signals that the bill has potential state or local fiscal impact.

Section 11022 was restructured: the publication requirement is now in subdivision (a) alone, the fallback to posting in public places and on internet websites moved to a new subdivision (b)(1), and all redaction/exclusion rules were consolidated into a new subdivision (c). Previously, publication and fallback posting were combined in one subdivision.

The section numbering was reordered so that Section 11021 (service and filing) now appears as SEC. 2 and Section 11022 (publication and posting) as SEC. 3, which follows the logical numerical order of the code sections being amended.

Cross-references in Section 11022 were updated so that the exclusion of proponent signatures and addresses from published or posted notices now points to the new subdivision (c) rather than the old subdivision (b), making the redaction requirements clearer and more centralized.

Section 11021 of the Elections Code is now amended in addition to Sections 11020 and 11022, expanding the bill's reach to cover service and filing procedures for recall notices.

A new provision requires the elections official or Secretary of State to redact proponents' signatures and street numbers/street names from the notice of intention before making it available to the public, explicitly overriding the California Public Records Act. This provides privacy protection for recall petition signers.

If newspaper publication is not possible, the notice must now be posted on at least three internet websites (including the jurisdiction's website, a local business association website, and a local community bulletin board) in addition to being posted in at least three physical public places.

The Secretary of State is required to adopt regulations to implement the new internet posting requirements, creating an ongoing regulatory obligation for the state.

Section 11020 was restructured to remove a redundant summary paragraph that restated all proponent information, keeping only the alternative mailing address provision. The redaction language previously embedded in Section 11022 was moved to the new Section 11021.

The fiscal committee determination changed from 'no' to 'yes,' indicating the bill now carries state fiscal implications, likely due to the regulatory implementation duties assigned to the Secretary of State.
