BILL NUMBER:A9085A TITLE OF BILL: CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY propos- ing the addition of a new article 20 to the constitution, in relation to providing for recall of an elective officer PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill adds a new article to the Constitution to allow for the recall of elected officials. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 defines recall as the power of the electors to remove an elective officer. Section 2 Details how to initiate the recall of a state officer. Specifically, to recall a statewide officer, 20% of the voters that took part in the last election for that official must sign a recall petition. Petitions shall be delivered, within 90 days, to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State shall maintain a continuous count of the signa- tures certified to that office. There shall be no recall power to remove judges. Section 4 provides the time constraints that must be followed by the Governor in calling for a recall election. This section also provides that a majority vote to recall is all that is needed to remove the offi- cer in question. The candidate that receives a plurality is the succes- sor.
