Recall elections; authorizing Legislature to propose recall of state officer; establishing procedures for legislative approval for recall election; providing procedures for certain recall election. Effective date.

SB 990 establishes procedures for recalling statewide elected officials in Oklahoma, directly affecting positions like governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general (excluding those subject to impeachment). It allows the legislature to initiate a recall by passing a joint resolution approved by both chambers, bypassing gubernatorial veto, and setting a specific election date. The ballot would ask voters to approve removing the official, with removal taking effect if a majority votes "yes," followed by a governor-appointed replacement for the remaining term. The bill specifies election timing, ballot wording, and contest procedures, effective November 1, 2025.
