SJR 8 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Constitutional amendment; preventing infringement of the fundamental right of a citizen to grow and purchase food.

SJR 8 is a proposed constitutional amendment for Oklahoma that would add a new right to the state constitution. It states: "The right of a citizen of Oklahoma to cultivate food and to purchase food from the source of his or her choice shall not be infringed." If approved by voters, this amendment would protect Oklahomans' ability to grow their own food and choose where to buy it, preventing government interference. As a constitutional amendment, it requires voter approval via ballot measure and does not create immediate new laws or regulations.
