HJR 1066 proposes a constitutional amendment to create a Board on Legislative Compensation that would set salaries for Oklahoma state legislators. The Board, appointed by the Governor and legislative leaders, would review salaries every two years. Crucially, if the Board approves a salary increase exceeding 10%, the Legislature must then approve the increase with a majority vote in both chambers before it takes effect. The amendment also specifies that the effective date depends on when the Legislature passes the measure relative to upcoming general elections.
