Provides relative to recall petitions
Proposed law requires the Secretary of State to provide the chairman and vice chairman representing the petitioners of a
recall a document providing general information on petition requirements and deadlines. Proposed law requires each
Registrar of Voters indicate which names appear on the petition but are not electors of the voting area. Registrars can
request the assistance of the Department of State to complete the certification of the recall petition. Proposed law also
provides for new timelines for recall petition certification and clarifications on public records of the recall petition.

EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental expenditures as a result of this measure. Proposed law may
lead to a minimal increase in workload required by the Department of State and Registrar of Voters to prepare the document
providing general information and to indicate which names appear on the petition but are not electors of the voting area.
The Department of State indicates this workload increase can likely be absorbed by the department.
