HB 5492 reforms the impeachment and removal procedures for state officers, outlining specific rules for witness testimony, committee review, and cost reporting. It mandates that impeachment testimony be given under oath in open sessions and that all house members receive impeachment materials at least 48 hours before deliberations begin. The bill also prohibits legislators with close family ties to the accused officer from voting in impeachment proceedings and requires the house to report all impeachment-related costs to key state officials within 60 days of the conclusion of proceedings.
