The bill amends Section 34-1702 of the Idaho Code, which outlines the requirements for signatures on petitions for recall elections. It specifies that petitions must be filed with the appropriate official and must be signed by a certain percentage of registered electors based on the type of officer being recalled. The bill introduces new provisions for cities that elect council members based on districts, stating that the petition must be signed by registered electors residing within the specific district, equal to twenty percent of the number of electors registered to vote in the last election for that district.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the signature requirements for various levels of elected officials, including those at the county and city levels, and establishes that if a district is located in multiple counties, the county clerks will perform the necessary functions within their respective counties. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
