SB 116 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Initiative and referendum; modifying requirements for certain signatures. Effective date.

SB 116 amends Oklahoma's initiative and referendum laws to clarify signature requirements for citizen-led petitions. It sets a 90-day deadline for collecting signatures after a petition is approved, limits signatures from any single county to 5% of the total required, and updates procedures for filing petitions with the Secretary of State. These changes directly affect citizens or groups circulating petitions to propose new laws (initiatives) or challenge existing ones (referendums). The bill focuses on procedural clarity for petition validation, requiring signatures to include voter registration details and specifying the Secretary of State's role in reviewing submissions.
