HJR 1002 is a constitutional amendment resolution that would change Oklahoma's referendum process. It removes the Governor's authority to set special election dates for measures referred to voters by initiative or referendum, requiring all such votes to occur at the next statewide election unless the Legislature orders a special election. The bill also shortens the deadline for filing referendum petitions to 90 days after the Legislature's final adjournment and changes the style of all bills to "Be it Enacted By the People of the State of Oklahoma." This directly affects voters who initiate or respond to referendums and limits the Governor's role in referendum scheduling.
