Constitutional amendment; requiring the Commissioner of Labor be appointed by the Governor.

SJR 37 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring the Oklahoma Commissioner of Labor to be appointed by the Governor (with Senate approval) instead of elected. This change, effective if approved by voters, would shift the selection process for this position from a statewide election to a gubernatorial appointment for a four-year term. The amendment also aligns the Commissioner of Labor with the existing eight-year term limit for other statewide officials like the Attorney General and State Treasurer. This directly affects the Commissioner of Labor position and future appointees, altering how this role is filled under Oklahoma law.
