AB 2410, Fuentes. Elective office: felony conviction.
Existing law prescribes various eligibility and procedural requirements
for a person to become a candidate for elective office.
This bill would prohibit the consideration of a person as a candidate for,
and would provide that the person is not eligible to be elected to, any state
or local elective office if the person has been convicted of a felony involving
accepting or giving, or offering to give, any bribe, the embezzlement of
public money, extortion or theft of public money, perjury, or conspiracy to
commit any of those crimes. The bill would provide that “conviction of a
felony” includes a conviction of a felony in this state and a conviction under
the laws of any other state, the United States, or any foreign government or
country of a crime that, if committed in this state, would be a felony, and
for which the person has not received a pardon from the Governor of this
state, the governor or other officer authorized to grant pardons in another
state, the President of the United States, or the officer of the foreign
government or country authorized to grant pardons in that foreign
jurisdiction.
