Proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution to eliminate the Board on Legislative Compensation and set legislator salaries.

This bill proposes an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution to eliminate the Board on Legislative Compensation and set legislator salaries at the amount in effect as of November 1, 2025. It allows the Legislature to submit a question to modify legislator salaries to a vote of the people in any year that the General Election coincides with the Presidential Election. The amendment would be presented as a state question, bypassing the Governor. The Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives would prepare and file the resolution with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.
