Oklahoma HJR1015 amends the state constitution to require the Governor to appoint someone to fill vacancies in statewide elected offices, subject to.
Oklahoma HJR1015 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how vacancies in statewide elected offices are filled. Currently, the Governor commissions all officers not otherwise commissioned by law, but this bill would require the Governor to appoint a person to fill any such vacancy. The appointment would then need to be confirmed by a majority vote of the persons elected to and constituting the State Senate. The Secretary of State would refer this proposed amendment to the people for approval or rejection.
