Relates to providing for the recall of a district attorney
This bill establishes a process for voters to remove a district attorney through a recall election. It requires petition signatures from 20% of voters who supported the DA in the last election within their county, collected over 160 days. If enough signatures are verified, a recall election must be held 60-80 days later (or consolidated with a future election), where a majority vote to remove the DA triggers a successor election. The state reimburses the DA for recall election costs, and no new recall can be filed against them for six months after the election.
