HJR 1025 is a proposed constitutional amendment to change the membership structure of Oklahoma's Judicial Nominating Commission. It replaces the current system where the Oklahoma Bar Association directly selected members with a new process: the Governor appoints six non-lawyer members (one per congressional district), the Senate President appoints six bar association members, and three at-large members are appointed by the Senate President, House Speaker, and the Commission itself. The amendment also sets limits on political party representation (no more than four members from one party among Senate-appointed members) and requires all members to be Oklahoma residents without legal practice ties. The changes would take effect gradually as current terms expire or vacancies occur, starting after the amendment's adoption.
