Constitutional amendment; requiring certain vote of people to change compensation of members of the Legislature.

SJR 45 is a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment that would require voter approval for any change to Oklahoma legislators' compensation. The amendment would establish a Board on Legislative Compensation to set pay, but any adjustment would need to be approved by a majority vote of the people in a statewide election. Changes would only take effect after voter approval, with the amendment requiring a public vote at the next general election. This bill does not alter current compensation but sets a new rule for future adjustments, requiring direct voter input for any pay changes. If passed by the legislature, it would be submitted to voters for their decision.
