HB0022

Recall of municipal officers in Wyoming requires a petition signed by 40% of registered voters.

This bill establishes a process for the recall of municipal officers in Wyoming. It requires a petition signed by at least 40% of registered voters who voted for the officer in the most recent election. The petition must be filed with the city clerk and must specify the grounds for removal. The clerk verifies the petition's sufficiency within ten days. If sufficient, a recall election is scheduled within 30 to 40 days. If a majority votes for removal, the officer is removed and the office is deemed vacant. This process applies in addition to any other removal methods provided by law.
