HB 2713 lowers the population threshold required for a municipality to hold an election on whether to repeal its civil service system for police officers and firefighters. Currently, cities with populations under 950,000 can trigger such an election through a petition signed by at least 10% of qualified voters. This bill lowers that threshold to cities with populations under 70,000, making it easier for smaller municipalities to repeal civil service protections.
