Oklahoma SB1027 updates initiative and referendum petition requirements, including gender-neutral language and signature collection forms.
Oklahoma SB1027 amends the state's initiative and referendum petition process. It mandates that petition language be gender-neutral and free from deceptive euphemisms. The Secretary of State must design a standardized form for collecting signatures, which must be attached to each petition copy. Each petition and signature sheet, termed a pamphlet, must prominently display a warning about the felony consequences of signing under false pretenses. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage.
