Bill > HJR1056

This joint resolution directs the Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution to the voters for their approval or rejection, which would change the Commissioner of Labor from an elected official to an appointed one, effective November 1, 2034. The amendment outlines a specific appointment process where the Speaker of the House of Representatives provides a list of six nominees to the Governor, who then selects one nominee for confirmation by a two-thirds vote of the State Senate; if the Senate rejects the nominee, the Governor must choose another from the original list. The resolution also details how the Commissioner of Labor can be removed from office, either by a two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers or by the Governor's order combined with a two-thirds vote from one legislative chamber. Finally, it specifies the ballot title that will be used to describe this proposed constitutional change to voters.
