Bill > HB0340

This bill creates the Local Government Elected Official Recall Act, which allows for the recall of local officeholders who were elected during a general consolidated election. The bill establishes petition requirements, including the need for signatures representing 25% of the votes cast in the last election for Governor or 10,000 signatures of residents, whichever is less. Recall elections will be conducted during consolidated elections, with the ballot question asking whether the elected official should be recalled and who should replace them. The bill also limits the home rule powers of local governments, stating that they cannot regulate the recall of local officeholders in a manner inconsistent with this Act.
