Bill Summary

A Joint Resolution directing the Secretary of State to refer to the people for their approval or rejection proposed amendments to Sections 1 and 4 of Article VI of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma; making the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction appointed; providing for appointment by the Governor; providing for term of office; providing ballot title; and directing filing.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution directs the Secretary of State to present proposed amendments to the Oklahoma Constitution to the voters for their approval or rejection, specifically concerning the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The key change proposed is to make this office an appointed position, where the Superintendent would be appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate, and would serve at the Governor's pleasure, rather than being elected by the public. This shift in how the Superintendent is chosen would take effect starting with the Governor's term beginning in 2030. The resolution also outlines the official ballot title that voters will see, which clearly states the proposed change and its implications.
