HB 1299 updates Oklahoma's process for collecting signatures on initiative and referendum petitions. It requires both physical petition packets and an electronic website to prominently display a felony warning about signing with false names or multiple times, along with a clear summary of the petition's purpose. The bill directly affects people gathering signatures (proponents) and voters signing petitions, mandating standardized warnings for both paper and online signature collection. It does not change the content or requirements for initiatives themselves, only the signature collection procedures, and takes effect November 1, 2025.
