Elections; requiring certain debt measures to be voted on in General Election; requiring certain information to be printed on certain ballots. Effective date.

SB 1825 requires that any ballot measure authorizing debt issuance (e.g., bonds) or increasing ad valorem taxes must be voted on during a General Election, not a special election. It mandates that such ballots prominently display "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE" along with three specific details: current and proposed millage rates, the average household tax increase estimate, and the revenue purpose. This bill directly affects local governments proposing debt or tax measures in Oklahoma, ensuring voters receive clear, standardized information about tax impacts before voting. The law takes effect November 1, 2026.
