Joint Resolution; Oklahoma Constitution; Article V; initiative petition; referendum; ballot title; filing.

This joint resolution proposes constitutional amendments to Oklahoma's Article V regarding initiative and referendum processes. It explicitly confirms that Oklahoma citizens reserve the right to propose laws, amend the Constitution, and approve/reject legislative acts through ballot measures. Crucially, it requires any legislative changes to the initiative or referendum process itself to be approved by voters, not just passed by the legislature. The bill also updates local-level rules, keeping county/district voter powers for local matters while mandating that general laws governing these processes must be voter-approved, and maintaining local petition signature requirements at double the statewide ratio.
