Constitutional amendment; requiring appointment of Superintendent of Public Instruction by the Governor.
SJR 33 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Oklahoma's Superintendent of Public Instruction is selected and governed. It would require the Governor to appoint the Superintendent (with Senate approval) for a four-year term that aligns with the Governor's term, rather than having the position elected. The amendment also removes the Superintendent from lists of offices with specific eligibility rules and from the state's eight-year term limit for certain state officials. If approved by voters, this would directly affect the Superintendent's appointment process and eligibility requirements.
