This bill creates a new process allowing voters to recall county commissioners from office before their terms end. A recall petition would need signatures from either 15% of registered voters in a commissioner's district (or 5% county-wide for at-large commissioners), and must allege grounds such as corruption, crimes in office, incompetency, misconduct, or theft.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
