Bill > SJR5

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, which would add a new Section 4 to Article XXIV. This amendment would restrict state questions, which are proposals for laws or constitutional changes put before voters, to only appear on ballots during odd-numbered years. Furthermore, it mandates that any proposed constitutional amendment or state question that seeks to remove a right from Oklahoma residents must receive a majority vote from all statewide electors and also a majority vote from electors in at least two-thirds of the state's counties to become effective. The resolution also includes a ballot title that summarizes these changes for voters and outlines the filing procedures for the resolution.
