Utah Recall Bill Dropped, Initiative Possible
An effort in Utah lead by Rep. Lee Perry, R-Perry, to establish a process for recall elections must wait until another time. After meeting with legal council, Perry felt it was a better option to put the issue before the voters in 2014 than try to attempt to use the Legislature to make a change.
With only a few days remaining in the 2013 Legislative session, Perry’s efforts to push a bill through would most likely have fallen short.
There is currently no recall process in the Beehive State. The motivation to establish the process was inspired by an effort to remove Brigham City Mayor Dennis Fife, who admitted to an extramarital affair in December of 2012.
