Maddy summaryHJR 1014 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Oklahoma's process for filling judicial vacancies. It requires the Judicial Nominating Commission to submit three qualified candidates to the Governor and Chief Justice, who must appoint one within 60 days.

This amendment would replace the current selection method and apply to all vacancies in Oklahoma's appellate courts, including the Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals. The measure requires voter approval via a statewide referendum.
