Elections; Task Force on Young Voter Engagement; effective date.

HB 1301 creates a nine-member Task Force on Young Voter Engagement, composed entirely of Oklahomans aged 18-24 (three appointed by the Governor, three by the House Speaker, and three by the Senate President). The task force will study low voter turnout among Oklahomans under 30 and submit recommendations for potential legislation by December 1, 2027. Meetings will follow Oklahoma's Open Meetings Act, and the task force must publish its findings and proposed actions before its December 31, 2027, expiration. This is a procedural bill focused on gathering data, not implementing direct policy changes.
