AI Summary
This joint resolution directs the Secretary of State to put a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution before the voters for their approval or rejection. This amendment would allow Oklahoma to stop covering Medicaid expansion for "Low Income Adults" if the federal government's financial contribution, known as the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP), drops below 90%. The resolution also states that this constitutional change would not take effect if another related State Question, from House Bill No. 4440, is approved by the voters. Additionally, it clarifies that this measure does not prevent the Oklahoma Legislature from passing laws to provide Medicaid coverage to Low Income Adults in the future. The resolution also orders a special election on August 25, 2026, for voters to decide on this proposed amendment and provides the official wording for the ballot title that will explain the proposal to voters.
