Bill > HB2451

This bill initiates a legislative referendum to determine whether Oklahoma should hold a constitutional convention, as permitted by the state constitution. Specifically, the bill orders a referendum to be submitted to voters at the next General Election, asking whether a constitutional convention should be called to consider potential revisions to the Oklahoma Constitution. The bill provides the exact language for the ballot title, which includes a clear, concise description of the proposition and offers voters the option to vote "Yes" or "No" on calling the convention. The referendum is being pursued under Section 3 of Article V and Section 2 of Article 24 of the Oklahoma Constitution, which outline the process for potentially revising the state's foundational legal document. The bill also requires the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to file copies of the act, including the ballot title, with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, ensuring proper administrative handling of this significant democratic process.
