Constitutional amendment; allowing a member of the Legislature to be employed as a public school teacher upon completion of term.
This constitutional amendment (SJR 1) updates Oklahoma's rules to allow legislators to become certified public school teachers after their term ends, removing gendered language from the existing provision. It directly affects current and future Oklahoma state legislators who wish to transition to teaching roles in public schools following their service. The key change is making the exception for teaching employment gender-neutral while maintaining the requirement that such work occurs after a legislator's term concludes. Voters will decide whether to adopt this amendment through a referendum.
