This bill establishes a formal process for the recall of members of school district boards in South Dakota. It requires that a petition, signed by fifteen percent of the registered voters in the district based on the last general election, be filed with the school district's business manager. The petition must include specific grounds for removal, which can include offenses such as crimes in office, corruption, and gross incompetency, among others. The bill also stipulates that signatures on the petition must be collected within sixty days prior to its filing and allows for challenges to the petition's validity.

Additionally, the bill outlines the timeline and procedures for conducting a special election following a successful recall petition. The school board must schedule the election within ten days of the petition's presentation, and it must occur between thirty and fifty days thereafter. If the incumbent is not challenged by another candidate, they remain in office. If a new candidate is elected, they must qualify for the position within ten days, or the office will be considered vacant. The bill ensures that the successor to a removed board member will serve the remainder of the unexpired term.
