IL HB5858

Establishes a recall procedure for State's Attorneys in counties with a population over 2,000,000, allowing registered voters to initiate recall elections through an affidavit of intent and petition process.

Requires recall petitions to be signed by at least 5% of voters who cast ballots for State's Attorney in the preceding election, with the affidavit of intent filed no sooner than 6 months after the State's Attorney takes office and the petition filed within 150 days thereafter.

Mandates a special recall election to be held within 60 days of petition certification, with the State's Attorney immediately removed from office if a majority votes for recall.

If the State's Attorney is removed, candidates may propose successorship through successor candidate petitions signed by at least 5% of voters, with a special successor primary election held within 60 days; if no candidate receives a majority, a special runoff election is held.

Prohibits new recall attempts for 6 months after a failed recall election, if the State's Attorney has less than 6 months remaining in their term, or while another recall petition is pending; makes this Section controlling over conflicting state law provisions.
