Oklahoma Constitution; term limit; Board of Directors; Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust Fund; remove at will; ballot title; filing.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would change the term limits for members of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust Fund's Board of Directors from seven years to four years. It also adds language allowing each appointing authority (Governor, Senate President, House Speaker, etc.) to remove their appointed member "at will." The amendment specifically targets the Board of Directors (not the Board of Investors), which oversees spending tobacco settlement funds for cancer research, tobacco prevention programs, children's health services, and senior health initiatives. The change would alter the governance structure of this fund, which manages money from tobacco settlement agreements to support public health programs across Oklahoma.
