What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits any person from intimidating or harassing another person

because that person signs or is attempting to sign a recall petition. Violators are

guilty of a Class I felony and may be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for

not more than three years and six months, or both. No similar prohibition exists

currently.

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.
