Bill > HB3532

This bill creates the "Enhanced Accessibility and Accommodation in Petition Signing Act", which aims to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities to participate in the initiative and referendum petition process. The key provisions of the bill include: 1) requiring the Oklahoma Secretary of State to design a form with larger designated spaces for signatures of individuals with motor control difficulties or visual impairments, 2) allowing individuals requiring accommodation to designate an individual 18 years of age or older to assist in filling out the required information on the petitions (excluding the signature), and 3) accepting the voter's mark used on their voter registration application as their signature. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2024.
