Oklahoma Constitution; the Initiative Petitions Act of 2026; ballot title; filing.

HJR 1073 is a procedural resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to establish the "Initiative Petitions Act of 2026" in Oklahoma's Constitution. It would create a new process allowing citizens to directly propose constitutional changes through petitions, requiring the Secretary of State to submit such proposals to voters for approval or rejection. The bill specifically sets the ballot title language for this voter initiative and outlines administrative steps for filing the resolution. This measure does not change existing laws but establishes the framework for future citizen-led constitutional amendments. It affects Oklahoma citizens seeking to propose constitutional changes and state officials administering the initiative process.
