CA SB1014

Creates separate statutory procedures for recall elections of state officers versus local officers by establishing Chapter 5 of the Elections Code for state officer recalls.

Allows the name of a non-judicial state officer to appear on the ballot as a successor candidate if the officer does not resign within 10 days after sufficient petition signatures are certified, and the officer remains in office if receiving the most votes.

Requires elected state officers to comply with campaign contribution limits when raising funds to oppose recall qualification and recall elections, whereas county and city officers remain exempt from these limits.

Specifies that judges of the Supreme Court and courts of appeal cannot be candidates to succeed themselves in recall elections and must be removed if a majority votes "yes" on recall.

Becomes operative only if Senate Constitutional Amendment 2 of the 2019-20 Regular Session is approved by voters.
