Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a constitutional process for citizens to remove statewide elected officials through a recall petition. It would allow registered voters to initiate a recall by filing an affidavit with a stated reason (not reviewed for validity) and gathering signatures equal to 12% of the previous election vote for the office, with at least 2,000 signatures from each congressional district. If enough signatures are certified, a recall election must be held 70-80 days later (or consolidated with the next general election), where a majority vote to remove the official. If removed, a successor is elected by plurality; the removed official cannot run again, and no new recall can occur for six months. The bill creates new constitutional language and requires the legislature to set procedures for petitions, elections, and costs.
Maddy summaryThis bill proposes amending the state constitution to require that only U.S. citizens may vote in elections. It would replace the current voting eligibility language with a specific provision stating "Only citizens shall be entitled to vote," while maintaining existing requirements that voters must be at least 18 years old and residents of the state and their local area for 30 days prior to an election. The key change directly affects voting eligibility by restricting the right to vote to citizens, removing any existing non-citizen voting provisions. If passed, this would be a constitutional change, not a temporary law, requiring approval through the standard amendment process.
Requires the governor and senior state officers to appear before the legislature as requested by the legislature to publicly explain actions and answer questions.
