2006 House Bill 5965 ↩

House Roll Call 925: Passed

To require the reasons cited for an official's recall, and determined by the county board of elections to be of sufficient clarity, to be affixed to the recall petition. Under current law the boards are required to determine whether the reason is sufficiently clear to enable voters and the official to identify the course of conduct that is the basis for the recall. The bill also prohibits collecting recall signatures until an official has been in office for six months, and imposes a $50 fee when the petition is filed. Current law prohibits filing the petition in the first six months, but not collection signatures.
