Bill Summary
A Joint Resolution directing the Secretary of State to refer to the people for their approval or rejection a proposed amendment to Section 26 of Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution; reducing the threshold to approve school district indebtedness; updating constitutional reference; providing ballot title; and directing filing.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution directs the Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution to the voters for their approval or rejection. The amendment, if passed, would change the requirement for approving school district indebtedness from needing the assent of three-fifths of the voters to only needing the assent of a majority of the voters. This means that fewer voters would need to agree for a school district to take on debt, such as for building new schools or making improvements. The resolution also includes the specific wording for the ballot title that voters will see when they vote on this proposed change.
