AI Summary
This joint resolution directs the Oklahoma Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the state constitution to the voters for their approval or rejection. The amendment would establish a Board on Legislative Compensation, composed of members appointed by the Governor, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, to set the pay for legislators. Crucially, any proposed changes to legislator compensation by this board would then need to be put to a statewide vote as a "state question" and would only take effect if approved by a majority of voters. The resolution also includes the official "ballot title," which is a summary of the proposed amendment that voters will see when they vote.
