Establishes provisions governing recalls of certain city and village officials
HB 1235 establishes a formal process for citizens to remove certain city and village officials through recall petitions. It requires petitions signed by at least 25% of registered voters in the municipality, with specific address and date details for each signature, and limits recalls to cases of misconduct, incompetence, or failure to perform duties. The bill prohibits officials removed by recall from running for the vacant position or being appointed to fill it, and prevents multiple petitions within six months of a previous vote. This directly affects city/village elected officials and voters seeking to hold them accountable through a structured, voter-driven process.
