Bill > HJR1054

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 the requirements for initiating certain legislative actions through petitions, specifically altering the number of signatures needed. Currently, a percentage of legal voters statewide is required, but this proposal would mandate that the specified percentage of legal voters must be gathered from *each county* within the state for initiatives and referendums, including those proposing constitutional amendments and those ordering referendums on laws. The resolution also outlines the official "Ballot Title," which is the concise description voters will see when deciding on the measure, and directs the filing of the resolution and ballot title with the Secretary of State and Attorney General.
