Recall petitions.

Section 11020 language regarding the statement of reasons for a proposed recall was cleaned up. The original had awkward overlapping text ('statement of the reasons for the proposed recall. recall, not exceeding 200 words') which was corrected to a single clear sentence: 'A statement of the reasons for the proposed recall, not exceeding 200 words in length and signed by the proponents under penalty of perjury.'

Section 11220 changed 'his or her their office' to simply 'their office,' adopting gender-neutral language for referring to the elections official.

The bill title was amended from 'Sections 101, 11020, and 11220' to 'Sections 101, 11020, 101 and 11220,' which appears to be a drafting error repeating Section 101 instead of using a conjunction.

The fiscal committee determination and state-mandated local program designation were changed from 'yes' to ambiguous 'yes no' markup, suggesting the fiscal analysis may have been revised or is pending final determination.

Removed the amendment to Elections Code Section 11020, which would have required recall proponents to file a notice of intention containing a statement of reasons (up to 200 words) signed under penalty of perjury, along with minimum numbers of co-proponents (50 for large jurisdictions, 30 for smaller ones).

Extended the deadline for filing a recall petition against a superior court judge from a flat 80 days to 120 days when the electoral jurisdiction has 50,000 or more registered voters. In smaller jurisdictions the 80-day deadline remains unchanged.

Removed the state-mandated local program reimbursement provision (former Section 4), which had stated no reimbursement was required because the act created a new crime. This removal is consequential to dropping the perjury requirement in Section 11020.
