The bill, HB 4356, was introduced by representatives La Shawn K. Ford and Mary E. Flowers, a representative for Ford’s office confirmed to BuzzFeed News.
Ford and Flowers are both fellow Democrats, as is Emanuel.
The bill was introduced after a new poll showed support for the Chicago mayor has declined significantly, with a disapproval rating of 67% and just more than half of those polled in favor of recalling him from office.
