Oklahoma Constitution; Governor; vacancies; advice and consent; ballot title; filing.

HJR 1015 proposes amending Oklahoma's Constitution to require the Governor to seek Senate confirmation for appointees filling vacancies in statewide elected offices (like Lieutenant Governor or Attorney General). Currently, governors can appoint without Senate approval for such vacancies; this bill would mandate that appointees receive a majority vote of the State Senate to take office. The change directly affects the Governor’s appointment authority, the State Senate’s confirmation power, and individuals appointed to statewide roles during vacancies. (Note: This is a constitutional amendment proposal, not a law, and would require voter approval after legislative passage.)
