Ballots; requiring certain language to be printed on ballots with propositions that levy or authorize the levy of a tax. Effective date.

SB 1116 requires that any ballot proposition proposing a tax increase, extension of an existing tax, or authorization of a new tax must include the phrase "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE" prominently above the proposition. This applies to all state questions submitted to voters for approval, directly affecting voters who will see this clear notice before casting ballots on tax-related measures. The bill mandates this language be printed conspicuously as defined by Oklahoma law, ensuring voters immediately recognize tax-related proposals. It amends existing ballot requirements to add this standard warning for tax-related propositions, effective November 1, 2025.
