This bill amends various sections of Oklahoma law regarding the timing and procedures for special elections related to initiatives and referendums. Specifically, it establishes that special statewide elections called by the Governor or Legislature must occur between seventy (70) and two hundred fifty (250) days after the election is called. Additionally, it clarifies that the Governor must issue a proclamation notifying the public of the measure and the election date, which must also fall within the same time frame. The bill also specifies that local governmental bodies must hold special elections not fewer than sixty (60) days from the date called, with certain exceptions for school districts.

Furthermore, the bill makes language gender-neutral by replacing terms like "his" with "his or her" and ensures that the language is consistent throughout the relevant statutes. It also emphasizes that the Governor has the discretion to call special elections or designate primary elections for measures initiated by the people or referred by the Legislature. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
