Constitutional amendment; statutory referendum; modifying placement of Medicaid expansion provisions.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to remove the current state-level restrictions on Medicaid expansion from the Oklahoma Constitution. It directs the Secretary of State to place this change on the ballot for a public vote at the next general election. If approved, the specific rules governing Medicaid eligibility for low-income adults would be moved from the constitution to regular state statutes, allowing the Legislature to modify them in the future. The measure also defines key terms and requires the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to maximize available federal funding for these services.
