California: San Francisco Board of Supervisors proposes radical changes to recall law

San Francisco Board of Supervisors has proposed a measure to create a 6-12 month grace period at the start of the term and a full one year grace period at the end of the term (potential longer than a year, as it seems to go to Election Day, which is about two months before a term is up). This may be the longest grace period in the country. 

Additionally, it would ban anyone appointed as a replacement from running in the next election, which I've never seen before. 

Here's an op-ed from John Trasvina, former SF Elections Commission member and former USF Law School Dean, pointing out the radical nature of the reform and how it will effectively stop the recall from being used.
