Constitutional amendment; allowing a member of the Legislature to be employed as a public school teacher upon completion of term.
SJR 1 proposes a constitutional amendment to Oklahoma's Article V, Section 23. It would remove the current prohibition preventing legislators from becoming certified public school teachers after completing their elected term. The amendment specifically allows former legislators to be hired as teachers by public school districts in Oklahoma following their service in the Legislature. This change makes the existing language gender-neutral but does not alter other restrictions on post-legislative employment.
