AI Summary

This bill amends several sections of Oklahoma law related to the removal of state officers from office. The key provisions are: 1. Expands the officers and positions subject to impeachment to include any elected or non-elected state officers, Justices of the Supreme Court, and appointed members of state boards or commissions. 2. Modifies the requirements for the Attorney General to investigate complaints against officers, reducing the number of citizens required to file a complaint from "15 or more reputable citizens" to "1% of the registered voters that voted in the previous election for the political subdivision of which the officer is an official, whichever is greater." 3. Removes the exclusion of state officers not subject to impeachment under the state constitution from being removed from office through alternate methods. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2023.
