SB 482 — Roster of Public Officials

The Government Code requires the California Secretary of State to compile, publish, and distribute a roster of state and local public officials, otherwise known as the “Cal Roster.” However, the Secretary of State’s office does not always receive the information it needs from state and local agencies to publish the Cal Roster promptly.

SB 482 requires the governing body of each city, county, or delegated local entity, such as the office of the city clerk, to submit to the Secretary of State an updated list of local elected or appointed officials for publication in the Secretary of State’s roster of public officials no more than 120 days after each general election.

(SB 482 adds Section 12242 to the Government Code.)
