A California Assembly committee advanced AB 2753, a bill that would prohibit registered sex offenders from running for or holding local or state office.
The measure moved through the Assembly Elections Committee on April 15 during a hearing that also included several other elections-related bills, according to the committee transcript and related artifact summaries. Supporters described AB 2753 as a public-trust measure and said it would close a gap in state law, while the transcript also references Fresno as an example raised during discussion.
The available record shows the bill advancing out of committee, but it does not fully capture the final roll-call tally or any amendments. The committee record excerpt also does not spell out the underlying facts behind the Fresno example.
AB 2753 is part of a broader package of elections and public-office proposals heard the same day, including measures on vote-by-mail access, confidential voter registration and lobbying rules.
