Oklahoma Constitution; candidate requirements for office of Superintendent of Public Instruction; ballot title; filing.

HJR 1008 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring future candidates for Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction to have public school administrator certification and at least five years of experience as a school principal or superintendent. These new requirements would apply only to candidates running for the office starting with the 2030 general election and all subsequent elections. The bill does not change existing age or voter registration requirements but adds these two specific qualifications for the position. The amendment would be submitted to voters as a referendum, with the ballot title explaining these new eligibility rules.
