Bill > HJR1066

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 modify how legislative salary increases are handled. Currently, the Board on Legislative Compensation, a body responsible for setting legislator salaries, can approve increases without further legislative action. This amendment would require that if the Board approves a salary increase exceeding ten percent, both the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the Oklahoma Senate must also approve it by a majority vote of their elected members. The resolution also outlines specific procedures for when such an approved salary increase would take effect, depending on when the Legislature votes on it in relation to general elections, and provides the official ballot title that voters will see when they vote on this proposed constitutional change.
