Introduced
by
To prohibit a recall of an elected official unless the number of votes favoring recall are greater than the number of votes received by the official when he or she was elected. The bill also prohibits recalls except for matters which cannot be reversed by action of the public body to which the recall target belongs, or for which no other recourse is available to citizens. The bill applies to local government officials only, not to state offices.
Referred to the Committee on Redistricting and Elections
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute eliminates a provision which would have prohibited recalls except for matters which cannot be reversed by action of the public body to which the recall target belongs, or for which no other recourse is available to citizens. The bill does not apply to state offices, but local elected officials only.
The substitute passed by voice vote
