Constitutional amendment; relating to the Insurance Commissioner.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Oklahoma's Insurance Commissioner is selected. Instead of being elected, the position would be filled by the Governor's appointment with the Senate's consent, and the Commissioner would serve "at the pleasure of the Governor" (meaning the Governor can remove them anytime). It also removes the previous 8-year term limit for the role. The first appointment would occur after the 2026 election, replacing the current elected system. The amendment updates gendered language in the existing constitutional provisions.
