The bill aims to amend existing recall election laws in California. It requires proponents of a recall to serve, file, and publish a notice of intention to recall an elective officer. The notice must contain the printed name and signature of each proponent, as well as their residence address. However, the bill proposes to redact or exclude the street numbers and street names from the notice before it is made public. If there is no newspaper of general circulation, the notice must be posted in at least three public places or on at least three internet websites.
