Bill > SJR11

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify Section 26 of Article II of the Oklahoma Constitution regarding the right to keep and bear arms. The proposed amendment would replace the existing language with a new provision emphasizing that a well-regulated militia is necessary for the security of a free state and that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to refer this proposed amendment to voters for their approval or rejection, with a specific ballot title that explains the measure would provide for a well-regulated militia and protect citizens' right to keep and bear arms as necessary to the state's security. The resolution also requires the President Pro Tempore of the Senate to file copies of the resolution with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, setting the stage for a potential statewide referendum on the constitutional amendment.
