Providing for recall process of prosecutor under certain circumstances

SB 187 would establish a formal recall process for elected prosecutors in West Virginia under specific circumstances, directly affecting county prosecutors and voters seeking to remove them. The bill aims to amend existing law (§7-4-1 of the West Virginia Code) to create procedures for initiating and conducting such recalls. However, the provided bill text only includes the current duties of prosecutors (e.g., handling criminal cases, election day availability) and does not detail the proposed recall mechanisms, voter requirements, or triggering conditions. Without the actual recall provisions in the text, the specific key mechanisms cannot be summarized. The bill was introduced on January 14, 2026, and referred to the Judiciary Committee.
