     211C.04 Proposed petition; submittal. 

    A petition to recall a state officer may be proposed by 25 
 or more persons, who must be eligible to sign and shall sign the 
 proposed petition for the recall of the officer.  The persons 
 submitting the petition must designate in writing no more than 
 three individuals among them to represent all petitioners in 
 matters relating to the recall.  The proposed petition must be 
 submitted to the secretary of state in the manner and form 
 required by the secretary of state and be accompanied by a fee 
 of $100.  After the secretary of state issues a petition to 
 recall a state officer under section 211C.06, the secretary of 
 state may not accept a proposed petition to recall the same 
 officer until either the earlier petition is dismissed by the 
 secretary of state for a deficiency of signatures under section 
 211C.06, or the recall election brought about by the earlier 
 petition results in the officer retaining the office.  Upon 
 receiving a proposed petition that satisfies the requirements of 
 this section, the secretary of state shall immediately notify in 
 writing the state officer named and forward the proposed 
 petition to the clerk of the appellate courts for action under 
 section 211C.05.
