Bill > SJR1

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Oklahoma State Constitution that would allow members of the state Legislature to be employed as certified teachers in public school districts after completing their elected term. Currently, legislators are restricted from taking certain appointments or positions during and shortly after their term of office. The proposed amendment would create a specific exception to these restrictions, permitting legislators to work as teachers in public schools following the conclusion of their legislative term. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to refer this proposed amendment to voters for approval or rejection, and includes a ballot title that succinctly explains the proposed change. The amendment also updates the language to be gender-neutral, replacing gendered pronouns like "he" with "he or she" throughout the text. If approved by voters, this change would provide additional employment opportunities for state legislators after their term of service, specifically in the field of public education.
