Bill > HB3067

This bill modifies existing Oklahoma law concerning initiative and referendum measures, which are ways for citizens to propose new laws or reject laws passed by the Legislature. Specifically, it changes when these measures are voted on by the public. Previously, they were automatically placed on the next regular election. Now, the bill mandates that these measures will be voted on at the next election held on the first Tuesday in November, which is typically the general election. However, it retains the Governor's authority to call a special election for these measures before the November election, or to designate a mandatory primary election for this purpose, with new requirements for transmitting the ballot information to the State Election Board at least seventy days before the general election. The bill also updates the language to include "or her" when referring to the Governor. This act is set to become effective on November 1, 2026.
