Joint resolution; Oklahoma Constitution; Article VI; appointment; removal; Commissioner of Labor; ballot title; filing.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Oklahoma's Commissioner of Labor is selected, shifting from an elected to an appointed position starting November 1, 2034. It requires the House Speaker to provide six nominees to the Governor, who selects one; the Senate must then confirm the appointment by a two-thirds vote, or the Governor picks again from the same list. The Commissioner may also be removed by a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers or by the Governor with a two-thirds vote in one chamber. The amendment requires voter approval through a ballot measure, as specified in the proposed ballot title. This change directly affects the Commissioner of Labor position and the appointment process for that role.
