Initiative and referendum; modifying requirements for certain signatures. Effective date.

SB 116 modifies Oklahoma's initiative and referendum signature requirements. It sets a clear 90-day deadline for gathering signatures after protests or appeals are resolved (previously unclear), requires each signature to include the signer's birth date and voter-registered address, and extends the 5% county signature limit to both initiative and referendum petitions. The bill updates statutory language to clarify these procedural steps without changing the core process for citizen-led ballot measures. These changes directly affect petition supporters seeking to place initiatives or referendums on the ballot.
