STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27597 / S1310
This proposed legislation will revise provisions within the existing elections statutes (Title 34) pertaining to the
process for ordering a recall election. This is necessary to provide a non-conflicting officer responsible for the
ordering of a recall and to ensure proper execution of statutory timelines.
This proposed legislation includes an emergency clause, as current statute contains outdated processes that have
rendered otherwise correct to form recall elections from being properly ordered due to conflict.
FISCAL NOTE
There is anticipated to be no increase or reduction in revenue to the general fund annually as a result of this
legislation. Any minimal costs incurred for implementation of this legislation will be covered within the existing
scope of the Idaho Secretary of State's annual budget.
