Bill > AB2584

This bill would make several changes to the process for recall elections in California. It would increase the number of signatures required on the notice of intention to recall an elected official, with the specific number varying based on the type of office. For recalls of school board members, the petition would need to include an estimate of the cost of the special election. The bill would also allow for recall elections to be consolidated with regularly scheduled elections within 180 days of the order calling the election, and it would establish a process for the public to review and challenge the content of the recall petition during a 10-day period. Finally, the bill would provide for state reimbursement of any costs mandated on local governments by these changes.
