Constitutional amendment; modifying the prohibition on public money used for sectarian or religious support or benefit.
SJR 4 proposes a constitutional amendment to Oklahoma's Article II, Section 5, which currently bans public funds from being used for religious purposes "directly or indirectly." The amendment would narrow this prohibition to only ban *direct* financial support or benefit to religious groups, removing the restriction on *indirect* uses. If approved by voters, this change would alter how public money can be allocated to religious institutions or activities. The measure is a referendum requiring voter approval, as specified in the resolution.
