HB1315

This bill creates a new recall process that allows voters to remove elected officials or people appointed to fill vacancies from office by gathering signatures from at least 15% of registered voters in their jurisdiction. The recall petition must allege specific grounds for removal—such as a crime, gross incompetency, or misconduct—and signatures are only valid if collected within 60 days before filing with the secretary of state. This right does not apply to officials who can be impeached under the state constitution.
