Oklahoma Constitution; Board on Legislative Compensation; referral of questions; legislator salary; General Election; specified years; ballot title; filing.
This bill proposes two constitutional amendments to Oklahoma's Constitution. It would eliminate the Board on Legislative Compensation and freeze legislator salaries at the November 1, 2025 level, unless voters approve changes during presidential election years. Under the new process, any salary adjustment would require a voter-approved referendum held in the same year as a U.S. presidential election, submitted as a state question rather than a bill sent to the Governor. This directly affects all Oklahoma legislators by changing how their compensation is set and modified. The amendment would take effect only if approved by voters in the specified election cycle.
