Bill > HJR1055

This Joint Resolution directs the Secretary of State to put a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution before the voters for their approval or rejection, which aims to ensure that any proposal requiring a "supermajority approval" (meaning more than a simple majority, like two-thirds or three-quarters of the vote) to pass a "state question" (a ballot measure or proposed law) must itself receive that same supermajority level of support from voters in the election. In simpler terms, if a proposed change to the Constitution suggests that future constitutional amendments or other ballot measures need a higher-than-usual percentage of votes to pass, then that specific proposal for a supermajority requirement must also be approved by that same higher percentage of voters. The resolution also provides the specific wording for the ballot title that voters will see when they vote on this proposed amendment.
