AB 18 (2007) c. 485

Signature stamps; authorized users

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

AB 18, c. 485: Signature stamps; authorized users. Enacts the Warren Mattingly Signature Stamp Act.  This bill permits a disabled person who is unable to provide a handwritten signature to use a signature stamp for situations when the Elections Code requires a signature.  The user must be an "authorized person," as defined, and provide valid identification.  The use of a signature stamp, under this bill, is in addition to existing law allowing use of a mark instead of a handwritten signature.
