Bill > HJR1070

This joint resolution directs the Oklahoma Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the state Constitution to voters for their approval or rejection. The amendment would add a new requirement for the office of Attorney General, stipulating that any candidate must be an attorney licensed to practice law in Oklahoma and must have actively practiced law for at least five years. This is in addition to existing qualifications for state officials, such as being a U.S. citizen, at least 31 years old, and a qualified elector of Oklahoma for the preceding ten years. The resolution also outlines the specific wording for the ballot title that voters will see when deciding on this proposed change.
