Bill > HJR1011

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would establish an election recall process for statewide elected officials. The amendment would create a new Section 36 in Article VI and mandate that the Legislature create a recall mechanism for nine specific high-ranking state officials, including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Auditor and Inspector, Attorney General, State Treasurer, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Labor Commissioner, Insurance Commissioner, and Corporation Commissioners. The recall process would require the same number of signatures as an initiative petition, and the Governor would be responsible for setting the recall election no later than the next General Election after the required signatures are submitted to the Secretary of State. The Legislature would be required to enact the specific details of the recall process by the end of the legislative session following voter approval of the measure. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to refer this proposed constitutional amendment to voters for their approval or rejection, and includes a detailed ballot title that explains the key provisions of the proposed amendment in clear language.
