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.
