House moves to 'circle' recall-resolution HJR7 after sponsor reserves motion
Summary
Representative Neil B. Hendrickson introduced HJR7 to authorize a recall-election process; after discussion and a motion, the House voted to 'circle' (hold) the resolution and will revisit it later.
Representative Neil B. Hendrickson brought HJR7, a joint-resolution to authorize a recall-election process, to the floor and reserved the right to move it later. He said the state constitution currently provides no general recall remedy for elected officials except in cases of criminal conduct and presented the resolution in response to constituent requests and pending meetings with the Constitution Revision Commission.
After procedural points and a motion to circle the resolution, the House voted by voice to circle HJR7, effectively holding it for later consideration.
Sponsor Hendrickson indicated he is scheduled to present to the Constitution Revision Commission on February 4 and requested the House delay further action on the resolution pending that meeting.
