What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a petition for the recall of a city, village, town, town sanitary

district, or school district officer, in addition to other requirements, must indicate a

reason for the recall that is related to the officer's official responsibilities. Under this

bill, any person who wishes to circulate a petition for the recall of a city, village, town,

town sanitary district, or school district officer must include with the person's

registration under the campaign finance laws a statement indicating that the officer

for whom the recall is sought has been charged with committing a crime or violating

a code of ethics law applicable to local officials. The person must also include a copy

of the criminal or civil complaint alleging the crime or violation.
