authorize the recall of county commissioners.
HB 1087 would allow voters in South Dakota counties to remove county commissioners from office through a recall election. The bill establishes a process where a petition signed by a specified percentage of registered voters can trigger a special election to decide whether a commissioner should be removed. If the recall election is held and the majority of voters approve it, the commissioner would be removed from their position. This legislation directly affects county commissioners and the voters within South Dakota counties who would participate in the recall process.
