Bill > SJR24

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify the eligibility requirements for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in Oklahoma. Currently, candidates for this position must be U.S. citizens, at least 31 years old, and have been a qualified elector in the state for ten years. The proposed amendment adds an additional requirement that candidates must have completed the certification requirements for a superintendent of schools as specified by state statute. If approved by voters, this amendment would ensure that the Superintendent of Public Instruction has met specific professional qualifications beyond the existing citizenship and residency requirements. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to refer this proposed amendment to voters for approval or rejection, and provides a ballot title that succinctly explains the proposed change, allowing voters to understand the key modification to the state's constitutional requirements for this educational leadership position.
