Provides for recall
This bill establishes a formal process allowing voters to remove elected state officials through a recall election. It directly affects all statewide and local elected officials (like governors, legislators, and county officials) by enabling citizens to petition for their removal if they gather sufficient signatures. Key mechanisms include requiring petition signatures equal to 12% of the last vote for the office (with county-specific minimums), setting a 60-80 day window for the recall election after petition certification, and mandating that a majority vote to remove the official, with a successor elected by plurality if a candidate runs. The bill also specifies reimbursement for officials' election costs if not recalled and prohibits new recalls against the same official for six months.
