Bill Summary
Relative to the recall of elected officials in the town of Hanson. Election Laws. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill establishes a process for the recall of elected officials in the town of Hanson, Massachusetts. The key provisions include the reasons for which an elected official can be recalled, such as conviction of a felony or certain misdemeanors, violation of conflict of interest laws, or lack of fitness or corruption. The bill outlines the process for initiating a recall petition, which requires signatures from at least 10% of Hanson's registered voters, including at least 100 from each of the town's three precincts. If the petition is certified, a recall election will be held, and the incumbent official cannot be a candidate to succeed themselves. If the recall is successful, the candidate with the most votes will fill the remaining term of the recalled official.
