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 50 of Article V of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma; authorizing ad valorem tax exemptions pursuant to statutory enactment; requiring two-thirds supermajority approval; providing ballot title; and directing filing.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution directs the Oklahoma Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the state Constitution to voters for their approval or rejection. The amendment would change Section 50 of Article V, which currently prohibits the Legislature from exempting any property from taxation. The proposed change would allow the Legislature to create property tax exemptions through laws, but only if those laws receive a "supermajority" vote, meaning at least a two-thirds (2/3) vote in both the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the Oklahoma State Senate. This resolution also specifies the wording for the ballot title that voters will see when they vote on the measure, explaining its purpose, and outlines the process for filing the resolution with state officials.
