Bill > SB1369

This bill, SB 1369, makes several changes to the process of recall petitions in California. Firstly, it requires paid signature gatherers to verbally inform individuals that they are being paid to collect signatures before asking them to sign a petition, regardless of whether the person asks. Secondly, it mandates that the statement of reasons for recalling an elected official must be signed by the proponents under penalty of perjury, meaning they would be legally liable for any false statements. This change creates a new crime and thus a state-mandated local program. Lastly, for the recall of a superior court judge, the bill establishes a uniform deadline of 80 days for submitting the petition after it's approved, removing the previous variation based on the number of registered voters in the jurisdiction.
