Bill Summary

Authorizes a House committee selected by the Speaker pursuant to House Rule 63 to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of State Denny Hoskins upon a finding of good cause

AI Summary

This resolution authorizes a committee of the Missouri House of Representatives, chosen by the Speaker according to House Rule 63, to bring forward charges of impeachment against Secretary of State Denny Hoskins if the committee finds sufficient reason, or "good cause," to do so. The resolution stems from allegations that Secretary Hoskins unlawfully obstructed a referendum petition on House Bill 1, a law that re-gerrymandered Missouri's congressional districts, and instructed election officials to implement these new districts despite the petition suspending the law until voters could approve it. The resolution argues these actions constitute misconduct, willful neglect of duty, incompetency, and oppression in office, as defined by Article VII, Section 1 of the Missouri Constitution, which outlines grounds for impeaching state executive officials.
