HJR 1013 proposes changing Oklahoma's constitutional amendment process by requiring a 60% voter approval threshold for any constitutional change, whether initiated by citizens through petitions or proposed by the Legislature. This would affect all future efforts to amend the Oklahoma Constitution, including both citizen-led initiatives and legislative proposals. The bill specifically amends Sections 3 of Article V (referendum rules) and 2 of Article XXIV (legislative amendment process) to replace the current majority requirement with 60% approval. It also standardizes ballot language to clearly state the 60% requirement for voter approval. This is a procedural change to the amendment process itself, not a substantive policy.
