Bill > HB1301

This bill establishes the Task Force on Young Voter Engagement, a nine-member group focused on examining voter turnout among individuals under 30 years old. The task force will consist of three members aged 18-24 appointed by the Governor, three members from the same age group appointed by the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, and three members appointed by the State Senate's President Pro Tempore. The task force is mandated to meet on the first Monday of each month until December 31, 2027, with the Oklahoma House of Representatives providing meeting space. All meetings will be subject to the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act, ensuring transparency. By December 1, 2027, the task force is required to publish a comprehensive report detailing its findings and recommendations, including potential legislative proposals to improve young voter engagement. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, giving the task force a clear timeline to study and address youth voter participation challenges in Oklahoma.
