What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill prohibits any person from signing a petition for the recall of the same
officer more than once during the same 60-day circulation period. Violators are
guilty of a misdemeanor and may be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for
not more than six months, or both. Currently, no such prohibition applies.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to
result if the bill is enacted.
