Relates to providing for the recall of a district attorney
S 3025 establishes a process for voters to recall a district attorney (DA) through a petition and election. It requires petition signatures equal to 20% of the last vote for the DA office in their county, verified by the state board of elections within 160 days. If approved, a recall election must occur 60-80 days later (or consolidated with a future election), with removal requiring majority "yes" votes; a successor is elected by plurality if a candidate runs. The current DA is reimbursed for election costs if not recalled, and no new recall can be filed for six months after the election. This constitutional amendment applies directly to elected or appointed county DAs and their voters.
