If Sen. Coleman and his House author follow through on what he says here, it will be an improvement over his initial version of the bill, which was much more of a fox-guarding-the-hen-house affair (though, I'm not convinced Oklahoma needs this).
Coleman bill to create recall elections process clears Oklahoma Senate
OKLAHOMA CITY (March 28th) – The Senate has approved legislation from Sen. Bill Coleman, R-Ponca City, to create a recall process for state elected officials to be removed from office.
Before the legislation passed 31 to 15, Coleman vowed to make major changes to the bill in the coming weeks.
Senate Bill 990 currently establishes a process for the Oklahoma Legislature to initiate the recall of a statewide elected officer through a joint resolution, but Coleman said he plans to scrap that portion of the bill. He added that he wants to alter the bill so the recall process would be driven entirely by members of the public through an initiative petition.
