H.953 is a bill introduced to amend the charter of the Town of Panton, allowing for the establishment of procedures for the recall of elected Town officers. The General Assembly approves this amendment, which was voted on and approved by the Town's voters on May 15, 2025. The bill outlines specific conditions and procedures for initiating a recall, including the requirement for a written petition signed by at least 15 percent of registered voters, and stipulates that the recall vote must be conducted by Australian ballot at either a regular or special Town meeting.

The bill also details the process for the removal of an elected officer, stating that a majority vote in favor of the recall is necessary for the officer to cease holding office. Additionally, it establishes that a vacancy created by a recall must be filled according to existing laws, and prohibits the filing of a recall petition against the same individual more than once within a 12-month period. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
