Elections: recall; recall procedures; modify. Amends secs. 951a & 952 of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.951a & 168.952).

This bill modifies Michigan election laws to update the procedures for recalling state and local government officials. It requires recall petitions to be printed, clearly state factual reasons based on the official's current conduct, and include a certificate from the person collecting signatures. The bill establishes a review process where the Board of State Canvassers or county election commissioners must verify that the petition contains valid signatures and clear, truthful reasons before it can be circulated. If the initial review finds issues with the petition's content or signatures, the entire petition is rejected, and the bill also outlines specific timelines for appeals to the Court of Appeals.
