HJR 1057 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HJR 1057 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Oklahoma's Insurance Commissioner from an elected position to an appointed one, effective November 1, 2034. The bill establishes a process where the House Speaker provides six nominees to the Governor, who appoints one; the Senate must then confirm the appointment by a two-thirds vote (or the Governor selects a new nominee from the original list if confirmation fails). The Insurance Commissioner could also be removed by a two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers or by the Governor with a two-thirds vote of one chamber. This amendment directly affects the Insurance Commissioner position and the state's process for filling that role.
