Constitutional amendment; modifying term of office for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

SJR 40 proposes a constitutional amendment to change the term length for Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education from nine years to four years and limit regents to two terms. This directly affects the nine members appointed by the governor (with senate confirmation) who oversee public universities. The amendment would require voter approval through a referendum, as specified in the proposed ballot title. If passed, it would replace the current term structure outlined in Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma Constitution.
